WW2 French Bayonet Transformation

In this video i show you how i restored this vintage and rusty knife found at flea market.
This knife was in very bad shape and the blade was destroyed.
I removed all the rust and after i polished, nickel protected and repolished.
For the handle i decided to make an epoxy resin with some color and gold leaf.
This restoration took me a lot of time, i hope you like it!

nice bayonet !

[@laurentdevaux5617]

That's not a WW2 french bayonet, that's a 1874 Gras bayonet. Though obsolete, many were still used during WW1 by reserve troops and even by German POW camps guards. This one is interesting, as it seems clear it has been shortened, probably to be used as a trench knife. Good job, as this bayonet was clearly beyond restoration...
