My father had this kind of knife. He passed away recently. I promised myself that I would restore the knife's condition to honor him. Thank you so much for this video, I had no idea where to start.

BTW - Ballistol can also be used for something not on the label (at least in the USA) - the German literature used to mention that it could also be used as a makeshift wound cleaner for cuts and abrasions, disinfecting the skin. I use this on knives, firearms, almost any metal tool, and always keep a few cans nearby. Great stuff.

Love your videos! They are always really practical and useful. Also there is a kind of “your” humor there plus really good montage ;) Just continue.

Nice. Cleaning with a towel and oil is also a good first step to see how much work is necessary (oftentimes the rust is only superficial). Oh, and i ordered a Garberg from Knives and Tools based on your recommendation :) Thanks.

Micky your laugh is infectious!

This is exactly why I came here. As a fan of your channel, somehow I missed this video.

Lionsteel m4... That's one fine knife!

realy enjoy restorations. Would be Nice with these types of videos more often maybe

Excellent! Finally a video about knives that have been used and how you can make them pretty again!

I like how it's official name on the channel is Shit Knife lmao

WOO-OO A NEW VIDEO ON MY BIRTHDAY! WHAT A GIFT! GREAT VID GUYS, LOVE YA!

Ballistol. Yes! I’ve been using it on my knives and firearms for years - it’s the best CLP in existence, period. I’ve yet to find anything that was even close to comparable.

Mikkie geweldige lach en een nieuwe video dat maakt altijd iedereen blij.

Good video do a review of victornox knives and multi tools

Ballistol deserves it's own video, awesome stuff!

I love your videos, you two always crack my up laughing.

“You’ve all been there…” I love this assumption. I just bought a khanjar dagger in Morocco for my nephew and need to shine it up. Have literally never been there, but I guess there’s a first time for everything.

I love this channel more than most things on this planet ......brilliant !!!

You guys have really awesome taste in music and knives!

You guys are amazing!! Love your videos.

I like to use olive oil to prevent my steel tools to rust :3 thanks for the video, ever let rusty blades in coca-cola over night ? Did it for my chisels and it worked great

We sell Ballistol in the gun store I work in, so I got excited AF when I saw it because it's my favorite

that carrot had me laughing, great video guys.

Great video guys! Interesting and informative. Loved the music too! 😉

I just LOVE that mora robust

Thx DBK, that I don't have to fear rust cause u are here.

you guys are awesome been subscribed for a while now the most funny and entertaining Chanel of knives I've seen so far 😂😂 keep the videos coming

I can tell you whats better. Hunting capercaille for 2 days straight and then at the end of the 2nd day felling a capercaille. and then coming home and having dinner by the fireplace and having a beer. Just the best feeling there is

Great video guys. I like the plug at the end for next week. Did someone suggest you stated doing that? I'm looking forward to next week already. All the best, Ian

Glad you guys are crazy. Helps my day be a bit less stressful.

If you want less maintenance on your blades, get yourself some Renaissance Wax. British Museum and restoration specialists came up with this stuff to protect valuable museum pieces including but not limited to surfaces of priceless paintings,leather, wood, metal, marble, ivory, basically everything. A little goes a very long way. One 200 ml can will last years. Rub a light sheen into the entire knife, blade, scales, and sheath. Rub it in it dries hard instantly. Repels moisture and fingerprint oils. Has a slight shoe polish odor which quickly dissipates. I use it on my rifles also. Also, it seems to be fine for food prep since the the solvent in the wax is a petroleum distilate, which evaporates quickly which is what makes the wax harden. The wax itself, in small amounts, is harmless. Eating whole candles might give you a belly ache but a little wax coats most of our fruits and vegetables. Keep up the good work guys!

Bloody great video. All I look forward to during the week

My father passed away in 2008 and I remember seeing his military k bar knife my whole life. In my teens I think I may have tried to sharpen it improperly or with a horrible stone. Then I lost track of it and I think it was stored in the basement which was a horrible idea as it it very damp down there and requires a dehumidifier. Anyway we are cleaning out the old house and my Mom found it. I went crazy as I thought I lost it. It was not in the best shape and had some tarnish/rust look in appearance. I used the baking soda and water method into a paste and coated the the knife for 1 hour and then brush off the paste with a tooth brush. I could see the slight rust color leaving and falling into the sink and the knife taking a more natural look. Toward the end I reapplied some of the paste and used a bit of steel wool and gently got more of the stuff off and now it actually started looking silver again. It's a old knife as my Dad enlisted in 62' and I think they were made during WW2 and issued a bit later on. It looks better, but now I want to sharpen it properly. I have one of those 2 coarse Norton Stone's. I applied a little oil and followed the instructions to get kinks out use the less course and for actual sharpening use the other more coarse one. I did a little bit and it was sharp enough to cut paper like a razor blade, I just don't want to go further and screw it up. I read vinegar treatment works well too, but I'm satisfied with it now. I think a much more experienced person should take it from here. But for now, it looks much better and is very sharp.

i love your videos! informative, high quality and editing and your special sense of humour. i like it! Are there plans for reviewing/testing other gear? Maybe a second channel called " Dutch Bushcraft Gear"? :P Keep up the good work, greetz from germany!

Nice one M&M!!!! Imagine, after a few years of sharpening and de-rusting, the mora robust will be reduced to a tiny utility knife.. then what!?

DBK- Great work on those knives.

I want a mora garberg.. But it's hard to get it now.. Maybe Santa Claus for the Christmas...😆

Great haircut Martin ☺️😎❤️

Wonderful!! thanks guys!

Sick music. The mora looks better than new! Makes me want to do that to mine.

step 5...destroy the shit knive again...

Like always, amazing 👍👍

That bowie knife was crazy cant wait till next thursday.

Great video guys! The Robust was actually a far better looking knife after restoration

Thank you very much! You saved my knife.

Hey dbk, whats you opinion on using a vinegar bath on the knife instead of the steel brush for rust removal? Keep it up!

I just recently inherited a vintage 40’s mora knife from my grandfather who’s had it since he was a child and I’m hoping this’ll help me restore it since it’s been 80ish years since it was last cleaned

Nothing is more satisfying than this

Thanks guys, handy stuff. I bet next weeks Fallkniven is gonna cost a pretty penny or two,

We find treasure like this all the time!!! We use acid on rust. Great educational video.

I have an old wwII bayonet knife and this helped a lot

I would probably die if that ever happened to one of my knives!! But it just shows that knives can almost always be fixed. Thanks guys!

I use Brasso polishing compound and it works great to bring a mirror shine and waterproofs the surface.

I highly recommend getting a patina for carbon knives. You won't need a special spray, just some vinegar and a way to dip the knife. Plus it looks badass.

I love these type of videos

I was waiting for a video like this :3

Great idea!

Axcellent work, gents.

What's more satisfying is the fallkniven modern Bowie chopping trees

Now to see if I can get this old USMC 1940s bolo knife back to its former glory

Can you tell me about solinsen rosterfi ? Im in the states an found out the knife is stainless steel but not too sure if thats right.

Instantly subscribed!😀

Why am I watching this at 1 AM? I have a fear of knives too!

Another great video. For step 1 I find steel wool to work fine if you don't have a power tool. Btw, by your recommendations I bought a set of Naniwa Pro (400, 1000, 3000) from 'Knives and tools' a few months ago ;). My first sharpening stones so can't compare them to anything, but they sure feel good! Slowly improving, and I find the sharpening pretty relaxing. And man, starting to love mirror finish

Great video so far I’ll keep you posted.

Fantastic video

i love dutch people and their humor mastermovies etc

Lmaoooooo that dance bruh

Amazing video!

I'd love to see a review of the mora kansbol

Still the best. Keep impressing us.

Good job, guys!

Hey can you check out the Emerson Kershaw CQC 11 put it through the paces?

good stuff guys reall enjoyed it would love to see what you think of svord knives im from newzealand where they are made i think they are over priced shit boxes but the rest of the country has orgasims over them i wonder what you guys would think of them

Ballistol!!! Thought I was watching Hickok 45 :-))) For Rusty Parts a mix of 1 part Molasses to 12 parts water (Approx) is good, may have to leave for a week or so, and it does slightly Etch the Surface but works well :-)))

ABSOLUTE BEST INTRO YET...BY FAR

Mustard is also a good rust inhibitor like vinegars. It’ll force a Patina that will protect it. Also has a cool marbled look.

Lads.... whatever you’re smoking, I want a Kilo of it lol well done. I’ll be restoring my Brown Bess Musket in the same fashion

Full satisfaction, when are you going to review the Lionsteel M3?

Ballistic is great for steel leather rubber wood etc. it had a lot of great uses and I use it to clean the bores of my rifles after I have shot corrosive ammo

Yeah aaawesome job on that lads

The best way I've found to remove minor rust is a charred piece of cork. I coat my knives with WD40 afterwards too, because I don't use carbon steel knives to cut food, I use stainless knives for that. I've had an Opinel no6 carbone which has always been with me for 2 years, often in the pocket of my bike jacket. The worst problem that I've had was when the wood in the handle swelled up, and locked the blade closed.

I saw master roshi!!

Where might a fella go for a Bark river knife? I got one in A2 but, i was thinking of another

Thanks dbk :D

this is what i needed

Just how the heck do you manage that mirror polish??? I get really really frustrated with the markings on the blade when going up to 1000 and 3000 grit…. -.-

When the cops say they are gonna go to the sewers:

great video. Plz do a video about machetes, like, which one you find good and why, and which ones you find bad and why you find them bad. I know the chanel is about knifes, but machetes are "big knifes" and I think a lot of people want to know your experiences about it and some tips. We all coude use some tips of you guys, you're awesome!!!

I live in Washington State and it rains all the time here so I definitely need a stainless knife.

Amazing video

Idk how these guys made rusty knives look so beautiful and attractive watch @ 1:05 😂

Ballistol is used for ages in army ( i did) for almost everything, including firearms ofc. It's interesting to see how people are sceptic about that 'oil'. They don't want to use is afterwards to cut food etc. It is harmless oil. Used a knife with coating of Ballistol many many times

Good job

What grit sandpaper did you guys use?

Those were cool db/dbz figures!

Amazing

Great video ❤️☺️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🔪

The shit knife went from shitty to slightly less shitty
