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.
That’s sweet. Keep going brother. (:
Thats so sweet of you ❤️ And Im sorry for your loss :(
May ur old man rest in peace.
Sorry about your dad and good luck restoring the knife.😀
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.
+Julian 3 thats pretty interesting!
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.
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.
“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.
Mikkie geweldige lach en een nieuwe video dat maakt altijd iedereen blij.
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.
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.
Micky your laugh is infectious!
This is exactly why I came here. As a fan of your channel, somehow I missed this video.
You guys are amazing!! Love your videos.
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.
I like how it's official name on the channel is Shit Knife lmao
Natalie M yeah. I believe it is a hollow handle survival knife from the early 1990's. Remember that my uncle had one when I was young and it looked exactly like that. You unscrew the handle and it had a little survival kit in it.
Buddha Mack no. it's just a chinese rip off fake.
Natalie M ur cute
@@Zeratsu Its a HERBERTZ POIGNARD BOWIE CUIR 18CM
24 euros or 29 dollars new. I just paused the video and read the p/n on the blade
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
WOO-OO A NEW VIDEO ON MY BIRTHDAY! WHAT A GIFT! GREAT VID GUYS, LOVE YA!
Excellent! Finally a video about knives that have been used and how you can make them pretty again!
Bloody great video. All I look forward to during the week
Lionsteel m4... That's one fine knife!
Ballistol deserves it's own video, awesome stuff!
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
Great video guys! Interesting and informative. Loved the music too! 😉
Amazing video!
Great idea!
Like always, amazing 👍👍
I love this channel more than most things on this planet ......brilliant !!!
I love your videos, you two always crack my up laughing.
i know nothing about knives but does the more only blade bevel which is one with the edge bevel ? i have never seen knife like that.
You guys have really awesome taste in music and knives!
DBK- Great work on those knives.
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!
sloanIrrigation interesting, i've heard about that wax, and what do you think about Flitz Polish?
I use ren wax on my ww2 collection. I have tried it on high carbon steels like 1095 and o1 and it still rusts if u get it wet. It certainly helps, but Not foolproof. Also ren wax has a somewhat strong smell to it, but ur right... it goes away. Good stuff for sure. Flitz is amazing for a polish.... but won’t keep it from rusting.
Flitz keeps from rusting, maybe not as good as ren wax. Also it protects from fingerprints.
iscreamonu jaisanbai oh it does? Cool. I certainly have used both (ren more) but always thought flitz was just a polish with minimal protection. Thanks
you're welcome, I've heard that in very humid areas where the D2 steel is rusting (pittings) just laying on a shelf, and the Flitz is just must have if you care about looks of your knives.
realy enjoy restorations. Would be Nice with these types of videos more often maybe
Yeah aaawesome job on that lads
I found an old knife in the woods a little bit ago, it's a folding knife that has a blade and a fish scaler on it but the whole thing is rusted, what should I do about it. (It's blade it rusted open and the scaler is rusted shut)
Fantastic video
Hey can you check out the Emerson Kershaw CQC 11 put it through the paces?
Wonderful!! thanks guys!
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.
A lot of people like the looks of patina and it definitely works. I personally don't like the looks so I'll have to do with oil haha
I love these type of videos
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 was waiting for a video like this :3
I just LOVE that mora robust
What grit sandpaper did you guys use?
Instantly subscribed!😀
Anyone know which kind of knife is this ,brand or year?
Thx DBK, that I don't have to fear rust cause u are here.
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…. -.-
Mkay lapping compounds
you gotta strop too
I have all the tools and stuff but I don't even know where to get compounds or a strop, I have to use natural oils and make my strops. I have never been able to put a mirror finish on a single knife.
I do strop of course, B&W compound Bark River. But still the markings from the stones are irritating. Guess I just have to practice more
Mkay what series of stones do you normally use
We sell Ballistol in the gun store I work in, so I got excited AF when I saw it because it's my favorite
I just bought such a stunningly designed and beautiful knife and leather sheath from India to restore. One thing that is a mystery is how long the metal tang goes inside the wooden handle. Any chance on tips and tricks to guess how far it might go? Like weight of both sides?? If it is traditional from India how long would the tang be inside the handle etc.
kan je die olie ook gebruiken voor messen waarmee je eten snijd? ( is t giftig? )
+horrorhouse16 ja hoor! Het gaat om zulke kleine hoeveelheden. Er zitten geen giftige stoffen in verder.
Glad you guys are crazy. Helps my day be a bit less stressful.
that carrot had me laughing, great video guys.
Nothing is more satisfying than this
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
@Orlando Cardenas any oil help preventing husting, Olive oil is just not toxic for humans if you want to use your knife with food.
@@itsasecrettoeverybody Why not just use mineral oil. cheap as hell and it doesnt go rancid
@@Freakmaster480 you could use if you want to, personally I think it gives bad taste in everything it touches.
But also olive oil isn't that expensive, some regions produce some particular expensive varieties, but in general is not something prohibitive.
Any specific sandpaper or just regular?
Thanks dbk :D
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
Thank you very much! You saved my knife.
so awesome I love your show
hey guys I'm about to buy a multitool what is your opinion about them
Nice!
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've never heard of using charred cork. Ill have to look into that! I have several very old Opinel Carbone knives, they are absolutely wonderful! One is atleast 50 years old (1970s) and is the prettiest of the bunch! The patina is awesome on that blade. I have a few with a little rust though, maybe charred cork will be just the ticket! I've already soaked them in oil and wiped off what would come off. Still some rust spots showing. I appreciate the tip!
Amazing
I have an old wwII bayonet knife and this helped a lot
What's more satisfying is the fallkniven modern Bowie chopping trees
+The Gaming Charmander hahahaa next week!
What type of sandpaper did you use
Good video do a review of victornox knives and multi tools
TJ25870 James 3:50 ? Did. you also do that ?
I want too buy that knife
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
we just thought it would be nice! thank you for confirming haha
Mustard is also a good rust inhibitor like vinegars. It’ll force a Patina that will protect it. Also has a cool marbled look.
+f22shift i personally dont like the patina look but it's use has definitely been proved
What camera do u use
We find treasure like this all the time!!! We use acid on rust. Great educational video.
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
Now to see if I can get this old USMC 1940s bolo knife back to its former glory
Great video guys!
The Robust was actually a far better looking knife after restoration
Sick music. The mora looks better than new! Makes me want to do that to mine.
way i can't download your video.... please i want to download it
Still the best. Keep impressing us.
I want a mora garberg..
But it's hard to get it now..
Maybe Santa Claus for the Christmas...😆
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!
Great haircut Martin ☺️😎❤️
thank you sir
Axcellent work, gents.
Amazing video
+DragonStrike thanks mate!
What stones do you use to sharpen
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
so have we. I wouldn't drink it but it's free of lethal chemicals and heavy metals as far as I know. I bet living in a city is more harmful than eating something cut with a ballistol whiped blade haha
so true, lubricated truth :word:
Good job, guys!
Good job
I’m getting a Mora Garberg for my first knife. Good choice?
great choice
definitely!
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!?
Please review the schrade schf10 (younger brother of the schrade schf45)
If I start with high grip what will happen?
Where might a fella go for a Bark river knife?
I got one in A2 but, i was thinking of another
What grit sandpaper is best so as not to scratch the knife? Thank you. oh and Maarten, what brand of hoodie/jacket are you wearing?
It's a Sarma Merino Wool Hoodie from Varusteleka
www.varusteleka.com/en/product/sarma-merino-wool-hoodie/30651
As for the sandpaper every sandpaper will scratch but you'll need to continue untill the scratch pattern becomes even again. Start at 120 grit and finish anywhere between 400 and 1000 grit. 400 is a silk finish where as 1000 will give you a shiny finish
Dutch Bushcraft Knives you are awesome AND brilliant. Thank you so much for all the spot on information that you share w us. I've learned a lot from you guys. Proud to be a 3%er.
ABSOLUTE BEST INTRO YET...BY FAR
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 :-)))
That bowie knife was crazy cant wait till next thursday.
Them choseras are sweet! I love mine haha.
step 5...destroy the shit knive again...
I laughed so hard when they did the first video
ICH BINICH Lmao
Thanks Guys! I use BALLISTOL for anything not plated. Grand stuff...but for heavy duty rust protection I use EEZOX. Over 20 years. No I don't sell it. On bark river a2, in a properly treated sheath, I can't get even a patina to form. Permanent sheathe storage. Use the knife, strop, wipe down, let dry, done. It is more toxic than BALLISTOL but hey...wash and dry the damn knife if that bugs you. It dries completely when properly applied and a bit more can be used if greater lube is needed.
You can try squirting some lemon juice and sprinkle some salt to the blade and throughly rub it with the course part of a dishwashing sponge. It takes away minor rusting and lightens the color of patina.
I use Brasso polishing compound and it works great to bring a mirror shine and waterproofs the surface.
