This knife is not that old. 100% sure. The slipjoint didn’t become popular until the late 18th century. Before that it was mostly friction folding knives, but fixed blades were much more common. Just because it is found with some old coins doesn’t mean it’s from the same time.
I think, you are using the coins to make the pocket knife to look older, than it is ! You did it once before, this is the second time and what happens two times, gives already a pattern!
Cool, however if the coins were rare, you completely devalued them. Never, never clean / restore coins. You can take a coin worth thousands and reduce the value to zero. Always consult a numismatist before doing anything to coins. Otherwise fun to watch. 😊👍
This is positively amazing! Just imagine having this knife and these coins in your hands, as old as they are! I find it more than phenomenal that they even *exist* after all this time! I'm usually just blown away when you do something from the 1800s or very early 1900s, and now, I'm speechless. 😄 Thank you so much for sharing these marvelous pieces of the past. I'm glad it interests you and you find pleasure in bringing us such surprising things. By the way, FANTASTIC JOB!! Take care. Blessings.....💖
I love watching you restore knives they are truly beautiful. It would be about 100 years before my family came to America when someone was carrying that knife. My line has been traced back to 1740.
A basic scrubbing with mild soap and a good electrolysis bath will do the same as major museums do. When people break out the wire brush first I get worried.
Nice job OP!!! For some reason I'm more interested in the coins rather than the knife. Can somebody rec a channel for medieval/Roman coin stuff like this?
Cleaning old coins with a wirebrush. Jesus. That almost makes me cry. Just use citric acid in high concentrations for a few minutes and then neutralize in a baking soda solution. Clean with a soft toothbrush. If they are silver you can leave them as long as you like. If they are copper, half a minute max or they will turn red. .
I see you've switched over to some modern day tools. I think that is good to combine some of the new with the old ways. The shop was a good idea, but next time use a nylon brush. That is what they would use at the Museum.
Amazing to think when you first opened the blade it was hundreds of years since it was closed and the owner is dust now .lf he only knew we'd be looking at his knife across the world .
Mooi gerestaureerd dit zakmes, zeker daar doe ik niets aan af. Maar 17de eeuw loopt vanaf 1601 tot 1700 ik schat dit zakmes jonger, rond 1860 op zijn vroegst denk ik zelfs, mening gebaseerd op de verregaande industrialisatie van de bouwwijze ( bijv. de vering) van dit mes.
So interesting that 360 years ago, they had the same knife design as todays switchblades. The metal might not be that refined but the design is pretty much the same.
@Jay M Do you have any problems? I only wrote as a comment to @Manny Khan that this type of pocket knife has been around since the Roman Empire. What do you not understand about it or are you just bored?
7:40 I cringed to death. You removed 99% of those coins' values. They're now ruined and full of micro-scratches. Patina is gone forever. Coins are cleaned with neutral soap and a toothbrush only, gently.
)))) the brush I used with soft plastic bristles. Copper is a hard metal and the field of the coin is non-uniform, so there will be no scratches even when enlarged. Only dirt is removed with a brush and soap.
@@ReXtorer Yay! Better now. (Despite, I'm a chemist and copper is definitely not a hard metal. Take care still!). Aside from that, I loved the restoration and I would buy a knife like this for sure!
I love this channel but as an avid coin collector I nearly had a heart attack when I saw him scrubbing those coins. That would have taken around 90 percent off their value.
Not exactly what I’d call a “restoration”. I think the better choice would be to do a mild cleaning and leave her be as a display piece. In my opinion you ruined the history of it.
The knife can be no older than the newest/youngest of the coins. You should have shown ALL of the coins. It would give you more credibility. If you deliberately chose the oldest coins to feature in your video, you are doing what is called cherry picking. Zero credibility.
Wow, this is a great video, thanks for posting. It's interesting to see that today's pocket-knife technology goes back 350+ years (at least)! Why the bluing? How old was that "iron rod"? The coins also turned out nicely.
Clasp knives, or pocket knives of this sort were carried and used by Roman soldiers waaaaay longer than 350 years ago. It's quite an interesting history.if you want to look into it.
Євгене, дякую за відео! Цікаво було б, почати відновлювати і сам метал, а не знімати шар. Як варіант - пайка Кротовини на металі - це, звісно, добре, але побачити в первозданному стані було б ще краще
The fact, that tey were found together, not necessarily means, that the pocket knife is also from 1664! I don't think, that the pocket knife is so old! I think, somebody found old things and stored them together! By the way-i'm archaeologist!
Like many other video posters, this person has left this modern item in a place or substance that would age it, and has made up a silly story just to make you - and silly me - click on it

I totally agree with you Lorbera ! Slijoints did not exist in the 17th century.
Slipjoints were invented in 1660 maybe not incredibly common until later but it's not out of the realm of possibility
I was wondering about this.
I'm convinced half this stuff is fake
In Jean-Jacques Perret's seminal 'The Art of the Cutler', pub.1771, the slipjoint mechanism is already popular.
I think, you are using the coins to make the pocket knife to look older, than it is ! You did it once before, this is the second time and what happens two times, gives already a pattern!
That knife is just a piece of art, great job as usual!
A terrific lesson on how NOT to handle old coins.
Cool, however if the coins were rare, you completely devalued them. Never, never clean / restore coins. You can take a coin worth thousands and reduce the value to zero. Always consult a numismatist before doing anything to coins. Otherwise fun to watch. 😊👍
I don't know if the knife is that old, but it's cool to imagine it is. Great job!
There is no chance that this is that old !
why?
@@bentleyrevis6038pin location, construction style, blade tang, etc. To me it looks like something from the mid 1800’s at the oldest.

Good job Rexsto well done
Thanks!
Have yourself a 1664 beer after that one!
Thank you! Good idea)
@@ReXtorer Find a numismatist who has one. You can probably pay him with the coins! 😃
)))

Now that's a knife ... top marks.
☺☺
very nice🙂🙂
Those coins are rare AF! I would donate those to a museum!
❤❤
Friend, there are a lot of these coins in museums.
Not really rare at all just old
I like the way you left the handle. It keeps it original and makes for a better grip.
Wire brush to those coins may not have been the best idea.
this is not a wire brush. I used a plastic brush
Отличный нож.Немного не верится что он 17 века.
I was more interested in the coins then the knife
❤❤
Love it.
Nice job OP!!! For some reason I'm more interested in the coins rather than the knife. Can somebody rec a channel for medieval/Roman coin stuff like this?

Check out the channel "Classical Numismatics"
In terms of entirely fictitious dating, this is exemplary.
Ótimo trabalho. Tenho uma pergunta. Porquê usou sabão nas moedas? Não seria ideal a solução de vinagre?👏👏👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷
☺❤
Were did you find it that was amazing
Never ever clean coins
Благодарствую за науку.
Awesome 💪

❤☺
What's that on the engine instead of a whetstone? Brush? Or a rubber circle?
Ridiculous, there were no pocket knifes like this at that time.
Amazing to think when you first opened the blade it was hundreds of years since it was closed and the owner is dust now .lf he only knew we'd be looking at his knife across the world .
Супер! 👍👍👍

If it is really old, I am not sure, that this is the correct way to conserve it. And if it isn’t…
Entire vinegar process can be cut down from 36 hours to 1 hour if u boiled the vinegar first 👍🏾
Вітаю! Дякую за цікаве відео,
What do you do with the coins??? I can't believe my eyes...
nice job. personally tho, i wud have welded it all up and then grinded it bak 2 shape then polished it. great job again.

Great job! I’m a blacksmith, and I would love to have a pattern of that knife to try to recreate it on the anvil.
❤☺
Haha that was excactly what I was thinking ;)
What material are the coins made of?
These are copper coins
@@ReXtorer thanks!

Спасибо. Отлично!

It's not anywhere near that old. It's a 20th century folder. He just makes stuff up.
Such pocket knives have been around since the Roman Empire.
@Jay M Do you have any problems? I only wrote as a comment to @Manny Khan that this type of pocket knife has been around since the Roman Empire. What do you not understand about it or are you just bored?
Polish copper coins "boratynki", eagle on one side, on the other side-face of king Jan Casimir.
Слава Україні! Слава українським майстрам! Гарно вийшло.👍👍👍🇺🇦💪
Героям слава! Дуже дякую!

May he live another 400 years
Amazing!
the eagle on one of the coins is the Polish eagle of the Waza (AKA Vasa) kings (Vasas' Arms - heart shield)
✌👍
Great Work👍
عمل رائع احسنت 😁👏🏼
Do you look through the garbage dump to find junk?
NEVER clean old coins. Especially with an abrasive wire brush. The value plummets
it's a plastic brush
I'm more interested in the story than the knife. Can you provide more information?
❤☺

I think you really damaged the value of those coins by cleaning them.
❤❤
From what I can tell he did devalue them by a moderate amount
Tell me. When did you see any old coins at auction or a museum that were dirty, moldy, etc.
I love this channel but as an avid coin collector I nearly had a heart attack when I saw him scrubbing those coins. That would have taken around 90 percent off their value.
I think so
Super
It’s perfect
Was 1664 the youngest coin?
No debería haberse restaurado, solamente neutralizar el óxido y nada más. (Es mi humilde opinión).
Postapo slipjoint...
Coins form the Polish Lithuanian commonwealth.
Not exactly what I’d call a “restoration”. I think the better choice would be to do a mild cleaning and leave her be as a display piece. In my opinion you ruined the history of it.
This is a video on everything you shouldn't do to restore a knife
Now you have me curious… why did you only clean 4 of the coins? Amazing work on the knife, and the coins!
☺❤

How do you know it’s from the 17th century

17th century knife?
not by a long shot.
if the find story is true, all you can say that it is most probably no older than 1664.
👍👍
Another amazing job. Beautiful outcome. Thanks for sharing.
If they could only talk We might hear some fantastic stories 😀
Be safe
Great Work bro:
Well done.
I wish you more success ☺❤
Wow, this is a great video, thanks for posting. It's interesting to see that today's pocket-knife technology goes back 350+ years (at least)! Why the bluing? How old was that "iron rod"? The coins also turned out nicely.
The iron rod was 150-200 years old. It is also wrought iron.
Clasp knives, or pocket knives of this sort were carried and used by Roman soldiers waaaaay longer than 350 years ago.
It's quite an interesting history.if you want to look into it.
So there were muskets, but no one would make this knife in those times? You really think so?
Євгене, дякую за відео!
Цікаво було б, почати відновлювати і сам метал, а не знімати шар. Як варіант - пайка
Кротовини на металі - це, звісно, добре, але побачити в первозданному стані було б ще краще
Jakaś bzdura. Nożyk ma kilkadziesiąt lat najwyżej. Ktoś go schował ze starymi monetami i tyle.
This knife was made before America was a country!
you can only conclude it's from after 1664
😍
How do you know it’s 1664 specifically?
Dating from the latest coin)
❤☺
The fact, that tey were found together, not necessarily means, that the pocket knife is also from 1664! I don't think, that the pocket knife is so old! I think, somebody found old things and stored them together! By the way-i'm archaeologist!
vary cool but don't clean coins it hurts me on the inside
What country are the coins from?
The eagle looks like the Polish eagle from that time period.
Are any of the coins for sale?
🤣 that knife isn't anywhere near that old. You're not off by a decade, you're off by 250 years. 🤣🤣
Restoration? That was probably nothing more than a little derusting.
Bit of a letdown,coins should never be "restored"........the 🔪 was not that old by it's design.
