- In this video, join me as I restore a vintage 1972 CASE XX Folding Hunter Knife. With a broken tip on the main blade, this iconic hunting knife was in dire need of repair and refurbishing. Through meticulous work and the use of my trusty table top sander, I managed to give it a fresh new tip that matches its original design flawlessly.

I have mine from ‘72 exactly like this one. Cleaned a ton of game with it and it’s still like 95% good..
This knife is really nice and I like it! Beautiful work, the knife looks great after the renovation!😉🔪👌👍
As you say, "Sometimes ya gotta let an old knife be an old knife!" Agree wholeheartedly. Another beautiful restoration.
That’s it!! Thanks for watching!!
I have so many memories with my father cleaning ole shotguns after a hunt with REM OIL. Love the smell of it as well. Tks Doc for your video’s
Thank you!! Thanks for sharing this!
Had to earn your pay a little on that ole girl. But you brought her back to life. Can’t beat those old Case Hunters.
What a great old folding hunter restoration! I have a tremendous amount of respect for your dedication and skills.
Thank you!!
I would pack it, 😊
Good looking blade, sir...
Semper Fi, brother...😊
Welcome
Gran trabajo amigo.
Amo sus vídeos.
Tengo un Buck 317 similar a ese Case.
Saludos desde Uruguay.
Muchas gracias!! El Buck 317 es muy similar al Case Folding Hunter!! Gracias por mirar desde Uruguay!
I really enjoy your videos. May I suggest you add canned air to your knife restoring arsenal. You can use it to blow the grit out of that pivot.
Thanks Doc
Neatsfoot oil is real good too
Thanks for sharing this!!
saved another one ❗💯🗡️🏆
Brother Kevin, that is a beauty now that it has been to the doctors office!
GREAT JOB!!
LOL!! Thanks Terry!!
I’ve got a 1966 that. bought after boot camp. It’s not stainless, it’s regular carbon steel, other than one of the slabs having a small chip out of its as good today as it was back then, and I carried it for many many years! That Flits is the best!
Great looking knife. It’s got a lot of years left in it and you gave it’s dignity back. Thanks for the video!
Thank you
my current Buck folding knife is the 251 Langford with the green G10 handle. If I can keep from cutting steel braided hoses it stays razor sharp. It is an import but I like it a lot.
AWESOME!!
Wow great job on that knife these folding hunters are a grail knife for me so I really liked seeing it come back to life stay sharp Kevin
The same people that give you grief about Remoil will just love Ballistol, not realizing that BOTH are simply mineral oil with a mild solvent. They work. They ain't miracle sauce😂
Amen!! Thanks for sharing this!!
I was about to make a comment about using Ballistol on leather sheaths and how great it works,and saw that you beat me to it. I use Ballistol for all my knives and guns,and anything else I need to use oil for.
At first I thought you'd paid too much for that folding hunter but after you worked on it for awhile I realized the potential it had. Good find and a great restoration!
Beautiful restoration.
Turned out great with a lot of good years left in it.
Nice restoration of the Case XX folding hunter.
Thank you!!
You do great work. You should try Remington Action cleaner to blast that grime out.
Thanks for sharing this!!
Don't ever get tired of making these videos.....but you have a passion for what you do and it shows....keep that knife doctor footage rollin Sir......I look forward to your videos every day....stay sharp
very nice job! One of my favorite knives, a classic!
You do you doc. Turned out great. Saving knives and taking names.
LOL 😅 I think I bid on that knife too! She's pretty now ain't she!
Nice Case make it pretty. Thumbs up to your video.
Great restoration, great knife!
Great job, I love watching your videos.
Thank you!!
Came out great. Don't worry what people comment about not using something, more than likely they have never even tried it and are just parroting someone else. Thanks for sharing, Live Long Prosper and Collect Your Own Way!
Looks awesome, doc. Great video
Came out real nice. Great looking knife
Thank you!
That was a great restoration on the Case Hunter knife. One of my favorites. I have two from the 70’s.
You beat me out of that knife I was Bidding on that knife too😂
Doc i thought you bit off more than you could chew with that one but it turned out fabulous
jus got a knife lot on ebay and there supposed to be coming today!
That’s Awesome!!
Beautiful job! Great news about the auction,looking forward to that, thanks
I personally use mineral oil on my leather sheaths. Reason being is because if I use my blade for any kind of food processing I sure don't want a petroleum product on or in my food. I think thats why most people are saying you shouldn't use rem oil on your leather sheaths. Get you some mineral oil and Ballistol.
Thanks for sharing this!!
Barry , New Zealand, Good job on the big Case Kevin. Good skills.
Thank you!!
Awesome knife
That was a great video Kevin awesome find!
Put out content at a pace that gives You enjoyment. We tune in at all sorts of different & random times. Good call on the proceeds for Veterans.
Nice job. I've used an inexpensive ultrasonic cleaner with dawn to get rid of the gunk after the first scrubbing - I think it loosens the grime in the small crevices well. Great channel.
I agree with you on the oil. It gets into the heart of the leather, then condition it a couple of days after it's sucked all that oil in 👍
I use rem oil , 3 in 1 and mink oil. Everything for a purpose
Awesome!! Thanks for sharing this!
Dried up leather, I use Mink oil.
Dirty leather, saddle soap.
If it belongs to you, do what you want, it's yours.
Thanks for Sharing this!!
Good job on that Case.
That looks awesome Kevin. Excellent job brother!
Nice score Doc , do you remember back in day when just about everyone used 3 in 1 oil ?
Amazing work !! 😊
The grime in the pivot just needs some WD-40. Once you get you a good amount of WD-40 open and close the blades a few times and it will pull that grime and grit out of the pivot.
Man, I totally love those old folding hunter Case XX knives. I restored two here while back. They turned out pretty good also. The one was a gummed up mess.I had to oil that bad boy 3 times. I'm still working it out too. I don't know what the heck they got in this knife. But, the messier the better for me. I enjoy tackling the more challenging restorations! 😊 I am excited about the Live Auction Kevin! Those boys better bring their wallets.... I love me some Auctions. I love me some knives. So, be ready everyone. There's NO FRIENDS in the Auctions! 🤣😂🤣😂
Kevin your Case hunter , two blade has rose wood 🪵 handles or scales. 😊

Thanks for sharing this!!
Soak it with that Rem oil then blow the crud out with an air compressor 👍
Great knife . Good work on it. I really like the Hunter folding knives . I want a old Schrade one . I do have a Chicago Cutlery Hunter ,that's a great knife , it's very sharp also.
The way I see it you do a fantastic job on knives and sheaths alike. It’s your stuff sounds like they need to stay in their lane. 😂
So when are you going to start the auction for knives and Zippo lighters?
What might work is using very very fine sandpaper on that clip point could take away some of the previous grind marks , I love watching your work it's become a daily highlight for me thank Buddy !
Très beau couteau, très dur à trouver en France, mais j'espère en trouver un.
Merci de votre travail.
I'm really not picky. WD works also and just about any oil but for last couple years I've been using Rem oil mainly because I can get it for a good price at WM. Like you said been doing it for a couple decades atleast and never had any problem
Awesome!! Thanks for sharing this!!
turned out great,i had a early 70s folding hunter like this that was beutiful but the blades was hard to open it had been polished and oiled but my fingernails would chip trying to open it so i had to sell it
thanks for sharing- what do you do with all your fixed up knives?
I keep them. I may be adding some to the live auction I’ll be doing soon on WhatNot. Thanks for watching!!
Love the channel and content Doc! Question. Why do you clean and oil before fixing edge? My concern would be it's too slippery to repair or having to do all those steps again. Love the content, my dad passed Down a lot of case knives that I added to my collection including a like new hunter. Keep it up brother.
Thank you!! I wait to do the repair at the end, but it’s not oily or anything. It’s completely dry and clean when I work on the tip.
Be careful when working a dry tip Doc!
I just made a new handle s ale for one very much like that. Not stainless though
Did you ever ask your sheath maker about using Rem Oil on leather?
No, he don’t deal in old dried up leather. The ones I get from him I’ll condition with a WAX. Thanks for watching!!
I bet that knife has cleaned a deer or two
👍❤️🇨🇦
If I send you nitrile gloves will you wear them? How are your hands not cracking/splitting & being as rough as sand paper?
LOL!! I have Man’s Hands!
That's next case knife I want to add to my collection
Don't wait too long to get more expensive everyday
that's a biggun...
