Thanks for your comment and also for your opinion. I would also be interested to know how you would make the restoration of the knife that you will use? Thanks!

Yes. But it´s not a "rusty old knife"

[@billzielke6798]

Very nice! I’m glad you could save the handle.

[@Atelier12D]

Thanks a lot for the nice comment! 👍 The handle of the knife is made of Bakelite and is very well preserved.

Kelvin thank you very much for such a nice comment! 👍 That inspires me a lot!

[@timbow50]

A polishing wheel with different grades of compound is much much faster than wet/dry hand polishing.

[@Atelier12D]

I am very glad that you liked the video!!! 🙏

[@willivonfromhold4524]

Do you have multiple lights above you to make your blade look tigerstriped...

[@Atelier12D]

Thanks for the comment! 👍👍👍 You are right, it has to do with lighting. I'm not very happy with the light and will try to replace it for the next video.

Hallo, schöne Arbeit hast Du da geleistet. Ich finde es gut dass du den Griff nur "kurz" bearbeitet hast. Was für ein Schleifset benutzt Du? Hello, you did a great job there. I think it's good that you only edited the handle "briefly". What kind of sharpening set do you use?

[@Atelier12D]

Peter, vielen Dank für deinen Kommentar! Mein Ziel war es nicht, das Messer neu zu machen, ich wollte seinen historischen Wert bewahren. Ich benutze ein billiges chinesisches Schleifset (ca. 20 Euro), aber die Schleifsteine habe ich zusätzlich gekauft.

[@daoana7382]

Great job!!!!! How many degrees did you sharpen

[@Atelier12D]

Thank you for the very good assessment of my work! 👍 The sharpening angle of this knife is about 25 degrees.

[@edgaraquino2324]

Beautiful job! That beer was well deserved! You brought a piece of history back to life! You mentioned this was a boot knife; did the blade come with a sheath originally? Do you plan to make one for it? It looks like the day it was first issued...Good job! Subbed...

[@Atelier12D]

Thanks again for the great comment! 👍 I will try to find the original sheath of this knife for restoration. Also, in the next restorations, I will also try to make leather sheath.

[@edgaraquino2324]

@@Atelier12D That sounds like a plan! You are welcome!

[@ДастанЮсупов-л7б]

Now I'm worried that the rust remover got under the scales and somehow will rot them from the inside(((( what oil did you use with honing stones? and how thick is the blade, 5 mm?

[@Atelier12D]

Thanks for the comment! 👍👍👍 I use a mild rust remover solution, so there will be no problems. During sharpening I use oil for precision mechanics, you can buy it at any bike shop 😊. The thickness of the knife blade is 3-4 mm.

[@1982asd]

nice work but I repeat myself that the trench knife was no longer standardized for the Germans in World War II.

[@Atelier12D]

Thank you very much for the comment and also for the interesting information! 👍👍👍

[@tombarlow6176]

Very nice but a lot of time to waste put knife in clinicals what you did on the sanding machine was much faster

[@Atelier12D]

Thank you very much for your comment! 👍 in order to remove corrosion in deep sinks, I use chemistry, and on the grinder, I removed only the minimum top layer of metal. If you do not use chemistry, then the knife will rust very quickly.

[@milanradak269]

It's a shame that the blade has so many deep pits

[@Atelier12D]

Unfortunately, I could not remove deep corrosion, as this would affect the thickness of the blade. But this is not scary, since this knife has a history and I did not have a goal to erase it.

[@brittakriep2938]

@@АлексейСтулёв-у8ж : Puma company still exists, and still has a good reputation as a ,tradition keeping' german knife producer. But this knife type is no more in production for years, perhaps decades. You can not know how the knife was stored over the years.

[@timbow50]

That is about the most ugly knife I think I’ve ever seen. The design maybe highly functional but it’s really fricking ugly. Yea, I know. It was cheap and fast to make. And it was made for killing. About any blade will do that.

[@Atelier12D]

Thank you very much for your comment! 👍👍👍

[@scottmccarroll2618]

How can you say it was a restoration?? All you did was sand it and sharpen it

[@Atelier12D]

Thank you very much for your comment! From a rusty knife I made a knife that I can use. Maybe for a professional with more experience this is not a restoration ... Anyway, thanks for watching my video.
