Hello folks! Today I have a new restoration video for you. My friend asked me to restore the legendary SVT-40 bayonet knife from the Tokarev system. This item is from the era of the Second World War. The condition of the item is bad, but I will try to fix it. Well, I'm starting to restore the item!
The first duty I began to disassemble the bayonet. I tried to remove the original canvas suspension as carefully as possible, it broke into two parts. But I'll decide that later.
Next, I removed the plastic pads from the knife, because there were always wooden pads in the original. I put all the metal parts in a jar with a rust remover. I put the canvas suspension in a jar with hot water and laundry detergent.
After a while, I took out the metal makers, including the scabbard, and placed them in a jar with warm water and soda to neutralize the acid. I cleaned the screws and nuts from the knife handle with a cord brush. The canvas suspension was washed and ironed. After that, I went to the seamstress to sew the suspension well. I leveled most of the dents on the steel scabbard with the help of homemade metal molds.
The lock on the handle of the bayonet knife was also restored. I soldered the aspen part with a new one, and made a new nut and added a spring. It turned out to be a working lock. I also made new bayonet knife linings from beech wood. After all the work, I assembled the bayonet and showed it to you.
I hope you enjoy this restoration! Thanks for your attention
Sincerely, Alex. Thanks for attention!
Good luck and health to everyone! With best wishes, Alex!
