Wow! That’s beautiful. I still have my father’s from 1967 and it’s just as amazing as it was then👍 thank you so much Kyle for showing people a old but wonderful hunting knife!
Excellent restoration. I have an old Grohmann belt knife that I found in the woods in 1983 and it still looks great. One of my favorite knives. Not a super steel, but you can sharpen it with a rock and strop it with your belt. Wicked.
I just spent 15 minutes watching a guy sand a knife. And I enjoyed it! Lol! I bought one of those knives a few years ago. Mine has a stag antler handle. They are great knives. Funny looking but very effective and comfortable to use. I don't store my knives in their leather sheaths because the chemicals in the leather discolor some steels and they make brass turn green. After hunting season I'll seperate the knife from the sheath, or wrap the knife in one layer of wax paper and put it back into the sheath if it fits.
I love my vintage RCN issued belt knife that I enhareted from my grandfather it's a beautiful knife and in almost perfect condition with almost no flaws or damage and still looks like new after all those years of use definitely a classic
What a treat to see you work this very special blade. I am 75 now and purchased the exact same knife from a Penticton, BC hardware/outdoor store in the mid to late 60s in preparation for a solo hunt. It also has the “1958” stamp. I knew nothing about knives and thought this was a strange looking piece. But I have since realized I have a taste for the unusual and this item just had an aura of being something special. It is simply an enormously practical and comfortable knife for hunting purposes. It is my main knife for all things hunting and outdoorsy. Aside from dressing big game with it, I have used it as a kitchen knife, wood chopper (batonning), and so many other uses I can’t recall them all. I believe that when the knife first came out, it won some kind of design award. Although my knife is in much better shape than the one you are working on, and although I do have a point on the end of the blade now, I seem to recall that in its new condition it had a slightly squared off “point”. I somehow gathered that it was to minimize the danger of poking an animal’s entrails whilst dressing/gutting the beast. (Perhaps I am wrong on that count, but why would I have such a strong memory of such?) Keep up the good work! I look forward to your efforts much.
What a great story, my friend. Thank you for sharing. Wow, all that time and all those memories built into a knife. It's what I dream of for my own knives. Just beautiful. I have never heard the note about the flattened tip, but it wouldn't be an outrageous idea!
Nicely done .... I found the mate to that knife in a pawn shop here in Saint John, NB. Mine is carbon and marked as such. $20 out the door. My favourite style of knife.
Green oxidisation on the brass or white metal pins is from the tannin in the leather sheath used to cure it. Really nice restoration Kyle and sympathetically done.
Truly amazing restoration by a super Canadian on a real piece of Canadian history - from the channel that could be called "the Canadian Belt Knife Channel!" I'm huge fan of Grohmanns and have a number of different Canadian belt knives. I hope to own such a great piece some day.
Awesome! Thanks bud. Grohmanns are cool even just for their long standing history and consistency. They have never chased around different trends and fads. The stick with what works, plain and simple.
I watched this again last night and marveled at your nerve to be willing to tackle restoration of a knife I would be reluctant to touch because of its historical value to me That said you did wonderful work I only wish you would have displayed the completed piece to the camera You showed it cutting but never quite showed the whole finished knife Anyway thanks again and God Bless
Got a few Canadian belt knife patterns in my collection, they look awkward but sure are good tools, they do a bit of everything. that's a gorgeous knife, hope the owner is super happy with it.
Was over at the Grohmann factory about a month ago. You did this piece justice, I'm sure if that knife ever came back to them at some point, they'd be entralled to see it in the shape you got it. Well done brother.
Hey Kyle, you never showed the finished product after you reshaped and sharpened the blade! Oh well, your work is always top notch… I’d just love to see a picture of the completed product. You are a master of your craft, and a wonderful person all the way around. I always enjoy your videos, so thanks for sharing what you do with all of us. By the way, what is the best finish for handles? Did you add anything after you buffed it out, (I’m a woodworker and am always seeking out the best finishes for my projects).
I’m not early as good as you but I can get extremely sharp edges for sure on my whetstones. You never got my shipment but in my order I left you a note requesting a strop with my custom. Hopefully it shows up. Cheers Kyle
I understand why people love Whetstone sharpening but a belt sander is so fast and simple. With the right belts you can get hair whittling straight off the belt.
Fine work as always 🙏🙏🙏🙏 That's a really interesting knife, I don't think I've ever seen one with that kind of rear-lean to the blade 😱😱😱😱 I'm curios about if that rear-lean has much impact on wrist-angle while using it, or if it was perhaps designed for a specific task, such as pattern-cutting cloth/leather, or perhaps dressing an animal? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
Not seeing the function of that blade..besides some light kitchen duty for perhaps vegetables..strange as it has a hunting style sheath for outdoor use..must be a Canadian thing..each group of people have their own unpractical ceremonial token blade design..not really into decorative wall hangers myself but each their own..
It’s a Canadian belt knife typical style, for small game and fish basically. It works wonderfully since it has a magnificent belly and very comfortable handle to use. It was also issue to the Canadian army if I’m not mistaken, it’s very functional besides what you are thinking about it. Especially the handle, inspired many modern production knives with off center handle.
Lets be honest here..the geometry of that off center handle design looks like a mistake at best..For camping or hunting, fishing etc that would be my last choice on earth to carry..each country has their own in country designs I get it..but that really takes the cake..a $9 mora blade would be light years better..off center, handle blade designs belong in the kitchen..
@Agent Covert tell that to the thousands and thousands of trappers, hunters and outdoorsman that had a hand in the design lol tell it to the people who still use it today for literally every knife task you can think up. Why do you thinks the designs been copied so much? like you know better than them 😄 Give me a break man.

What a beauty... the knife is nice to.
😆
Always look forward to your new videos
, very therapeutic to watch. Hope you get well soon!
Beautiful knife and great work on the restoration.
Such a beautiful knife! ♡♡♡ and good job keeping it functional:)

Awesome work as always Kyle.
I learn something every time I watch one of your videos Kyle. Great restoration on a fantastic knife!
Wow, what more could I ask for! Wonderful. Thank you
absolutely insane work young man. attention to detail is evident in everything you do.
I appreciate that, Jimmy! Thanks bud!
Epic video. Great work
Nice !
Braver than I removing all that antique character However you are a master at your craft Kyle I appreciate your abilities

Oh that's cool! I would love to see the factory. Will they let you tour?
@@kyle_noseworthy Yup, just hop the ferry from NL to Pictou, NS. ;)
@Kyle Noseworthy when you do. Come visit me in cole harbour. I'll put on a pot of jigs dinner. And tea biscuits.
@@Christopherjamesmurphy21 I like the sound of that buddy!
I have an old copy of this 😊👊🔥
Hey Kyle, you never showed the finished product after you reshaped and sharpened the blade! Oh well, your work is always top notch… I’d just love to see a picture of the completed product.

By the way, what is the best finish for handles? Did you add anything after you buffed it out, (I’m a woodworker and am always seeking out the best finishes for my projects).
I believe they started making these in 1957 and patented in 1958. This is a nice example of an early model, but I don't think it's pre-production.
I’m not early as good as you but I can get extremely sharp edges for sure on my whetstones. You never got my shipment but in my order I left you a note requesting a strop with my custom. Hopefully it shows up. Cheers Kyle
I'm sure we'll see it soon, Drew!
I wish we coulda seen the finished deal😭...good job nonetheless, Kyle💪😎👍
I understand why people love Whetstone sharpening but a belt sander is so fast and simple. With the right belts you can get hair whittling straight off the belt.
You sure can! It just doesn't look quite as pretty
Now it looks like it was made yesterday.
Fine work as always 🙏🙏🙏🙏 That's a really interesting knife, I don't think I've ever seen one with that kind of rear-lean to the blade 😱😱😱😱 I'm curios about if that rear-lean has much impact on wrist-angle while using it, or if it was perhaps designed for a specific task, such as pattern-cutting cloth/leather, or perhaps dressing an animal? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
Ive got a ton of green on my pins. I think its from the 80's
close up of the finished article would have been nice
It took almost 60 years to get its patina.
Top notch restoration but those hoodie strings hanging loose around rotating equipment made me a bit nervous...
I want one of those. Can make an inspired knife based on that one?
Absolutely!!
Kyle was have one juts like in similar shape - how do I contact u for the same service please ! - Chris
Never showed us the repaired tip
Did not show how the tip looked
Not seeing the function of that blade..besides some light kitchen duty for perhaps vegetables..strange as it has a hunting style sheath for outdoor use..must be a Canadian thing..each group of people have their own unpractical ceremonial token blade design..not really into decorative wall hangers myself but each their own..
It looks fine

I’d like to use one for a bit to learn what the benefit is.
