knife restoration
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.

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

Re: knife restoration
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.just bob wrote: ↑Tue Jan 14, 2025 5:37 pm A new one today, but IMO not a masterpiece.

Re: knife restoration
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

That's my Etsy store where I sell old knives and sometimes handmade knife accessories to support my knife habbit. Thanks for looking my friend.
