Perfect first knife for a young person. I would have been tickled to have gotten one when I was young. And that old carbon steel will sharpen up like a razor

Thank you for a very useful video. I have lived on a river for many years. I have 4 docks and fishermen love to fish around the docks. I don’t blame them. Every 3 years the corp of army engineers lower the river so they can work on the dams and homeowners work on their docks snd sea walls. Not surprisingly, I find the knives, Anchors and other tools that fall overboard. So, your video gives me a better choice to clean these tools. Thank you once again.

I've refurbished many Camco and Colonial pocketknives made in the late 60s' to lateI 70's. The thing about them is that the bolsters are fake, made out of a piece of stamped metal that has small tabs on the ends to secure it to the brass liners. The scales are usually a thin plastic overlay. What is surprising is that the innards (springs, liners and blades) are still great quality. I don't mess around with the imitation pressed bolsters. I take them off. Once you get that off, you'll notice that the knife is held together by rivets not pins. I clean the brass liners and glue on Hardwoods from my yard that I've air dried.

Thanks for mentioning vinegar, as a woman my first thought 😀

Using an ultrasonic cleaner with the Evapo-rust is a great tip, the ultrasonic action will get in those crevices.

I’ve actually soaked a rusty knife for a few days, then soaked in gasoline. It kinda works, but not great. Now I know a better way.

Thanks for the ultrasonic tip!

Thank you, I have a project right now. God bless

This video just got you another subscriber. Outstanding video Sir. Very informative. Thanks so much.

Thanks for the info.

very helpful... thank you!

I found an old penknife stuck in a muddy bank today, so I'm going to try and clean it up. I have a can of air, I wondered what to use it for! 😊

I have a fixed blade that has some good pits from the rust. What is your suggestion to get the pits out. Thanks

Do you know what sort of effect will the evaporust would have on natural materials like wood or bone?

I have my grandfather's barlow from when he worked at staleysand it has safety award 1982 on the handle will the evaporust remove the word's off of it?
