I started being disappointed the moment he bevelled the contour of the blade. Then I even become more disappointed when the handle was colored with a freaking sharpie. The outcome was far different from what it was intended. That doesn't look like it was restored at all...

Showed this video to my grandpa, career Marine during WWII and Korea, he said thay pilot's knives were originally brushed or blued so that they weren't so reflective, because it's a survival knife - not supposed to be shiny. They wound up polished after being drawn from and inserted to the scabbard a million times.

@garyklein4653 2 жыл бұрын

Over sixty years ago, my father taught me a family secret passed down through many generations of German metal-workers and blacksmiths. When we purchased a new high carbon steel knife, the first thing we did was to submerge the blade(s) into a cup or other appropriate container filled with a mild salt solution to cause the blade to rust until it was mildly pitted after which it was cleaned of the rust in a mild acid bath. Then the blade was polished on a buffing wheel with a stick abrasive applied and the edge was re-honed to a razor sharpness. The reason for doing all this was that the rusting process drove the surface carbon deeper into the blade improving its ability to take and hold a razor sharp edge. The technique seemed to work, especially on the three blade "stockman" style knives every farmer who also raised livestock like cattle, pigs, and sheep carried. The shorter curved edge blade was necessarily kept razor sharp, sharp enough to shave hair on the back of our arms, for use in castrating the young male animals born into the farmer's herd.

Don’t forget, with the birchwood and casey super blue it only needs to be on there for about 30 seconds, but then needs to be neutralized by rinsing with cold water. Then you can add your oil. If not, you are leaving the chemicals in place which could cause problems farther down the line, especially if any vets trapped under the oil.

@@nilekelvin9641 machinist/metallurgist here, iron oxides comes in mannny forms, not just the nasty broken up red stuff. The red stuff is commonly known as simply rust (Fe2O3). As an oxide there's another form Fe3O4 which is magnetite or bluing, it's the blackened steel that exists on guns and knives and wrought iron work it's forms a protective layer. Rust however mildly does the same things in the right conditions however it's horrible at it, when Fe2O3 hydrates it expands and flakes of in nasty chunks. Dry rust like this would do no damage to the hardened steel underneath, even flaking rust would only weaken the blade where it oxidizes, the clean steel underneath would bear the exact same hardness as before.

Nice video! Just 1 question, what was the solution you used in the beginning to get the rust off?

Awesome! What’s the dark liquid you place the blade in called please?

@crabcakes5346 3 жыл бұрын

be sure not to round the bevels of the blade, and also to push away from yourself and lift UP with an engineer file. and don't use a dremel tool for the fuller, it looks a bit messy. but its looks good

The rust was powdery and just on the surface. You just buried it in your back yard for a week.

My money's on this being the OKC's pilot knife reproduction.

Layne McGuire, its pretty evident in the first 4 seconds of the video. look at how shiny the tip got after he pulled the knife out of the table. Do you really think an old rusty blade will clean up that quick just from contact with wood?

My first thought exactly. No pitting from rust, came out of the wood shiny, instantly suspect.

The blade was actually shiny chrome with like super glue and crushed up Cheetos for rust because that rust was definitely man made. Anything for views nowadays.

I agree. I knew the second he pulled it out of the wood. Very disappointing.
