knife restoration

Post by just bob »

They've been featuring a lot of old tool and knife restorations on this site. Kind of interesting. You can always pick up one new thing. Personally, I wouldn't have spent 5 minutes on this knife. Just deal with the ads.

Notice he did not show the blade open in the finished knife. Must be a lot of pits in that one.

A new one today, but IMO not a masterpiece.

It turned out nice but seemed like an awful lot of work for what they ended up with. I personally would not have put those shrunken handles back on the knife but to each their own. The videos were clear and easy to watch.

Restoring the compass on that Scout was nice, but for the rest it was just basically buffed. He did better on the first knife, IMHO
