Odd how sections of the unrestored knife have bright shining untarnished metal. Looks like he attached the knife to a string and half-submerged it in a tank of water for a few months
The "I used to be a dentist" comment was perfectly timed, as that is exactly what I was thinking! People don't realize that a good dentist is also a skilled craftsman. Fantastic restoration as always!
Yes, my current dentist always comments how beautiful all my gold crowns are, done by my old dentist (whose practice he took over after my old dentist retired).

@@francissobotka8725 You're probably correct. The knife in the video looks nothing at all like authentic "arditi trench daggers" that show up on Google. The handle and blade profile are totally different.

another amazing restoration. This knife came from the Piemonte Region, capital of Turin, Northern Italy, my grandfather was born there. I remembered a lot about my grandfather, he was there, he only came to Brazil after the war ended. Thank you very much, to you, who with all affection restored and to whom you sent. Hugs from Brazil 🇧🇷🙋❤️
What's very good about being a dentist, surgeon is that your hand is very steady, and that's very important while doing restorations, and stuff, especially for miniature things and writings or engravings. Awesome thing to have.
All I can say is outstanding . From start to finish . The satisfaction you get from this must be immense and you deserve every ounce of praise you get for your work .
It's fantastic work. So you were a dentist. I used to work for a retired forensic orthodontist typing up all of his cases. My husband tidied up his library, put it all in order, and I did his typing, coffee making and meals. He has no family, just himself. My kids and grandkids loved him.
@@paulnewman3406 I am concerned that a 12 million view video, makes it financially worthwhile dipping an antique in acid and burying it in the garden for 6 months! The corrosion is WRONG, too uniform. Brass tends to de-zinc-ify over time becoming copper coloured, and steel pitts and edges are eaten away fast. That said it may be a modern repro, given the abuse and subsequent 'resto' there would be no patina after anyway. Just sad
Here in Italy during WWI, they had shortened the sabers by creating these daggers, used by the "Arditi" (great-grandparents of the current Incursori), they jumped the trench to engage in the hand-to-hand duel, they were trained in the use of this white weapon, they did not fear death , they faced fear with courage in honor of the homeland, for this reason they were so feared, their purpose of victory and honor, was all in sinking this dagger into the flesh of the enemy, therefore friend in your hands you have a piece of history that surely has killed many enemies, currently the current raiders of the Italian Navy and Army possess such sidearms, however the dagger is also supplied to other non-special corps.

I’m Italian. The name “Arditi” means “Brave”. They were really brave soldiers. However that knife looks like more a National Guard knife, because the trench knife was simpler with a wooden handle (it would have been a shame using that piece in a trench). Anyway…. Thanks for your work in bringing again that beautiful piece to life!! Where did you find it?
C'è poco da essere fieri, gli Arditi erano praticamente degli assassini che seminavano il panico fra le truppe austriache, intraprendendo azioni pericolose, sì, ma abbastanza inutili ai fini della guerra. E non è un caso se dopo la guerra divennero tutti fascisti.
I’m from New Zealand and all I could think of is “this dagger was held by someone braver than we can comprehend this day and age” I admire their courage also and everyone else who gave their lives for us. ✌️🇳🇿
to be fair, that can't hurt our eyes, at all. In person, yes, it puts off an obscene amount of light that can damage your eyesight.... but the brightness from your monitor is only as high as your monitor is capible of showing, so like 1000 nit peak brightness for example. an arc flash is like 13.2 million lux, which is more or less interchangable with nits. so it's magnitudes brighter, but your monitor isn't capable of displaying 13.2 million nits so your eyes are in zero danger, though if you're watching in a pitch black room, and all of a sudden it goes all the way to peak brightness, it's uncomfortable lol.
I wish TH-cam restoration videos at the end showed how many hours went into each project. Amazing to see how much work and love these restorations receive!
right!!! like at the end would specify how many hours it took to do certain parts of it . and all total hours at the end . for example "the handle of this knife took ($$) amount of hours and ($#) many hours for the whole thing . " and I'm pretty sure alot of the people seeing that it took a certain amount of hour it would surprise them a hell of a lot . and maybe possibly make the viewers want to donate towards it .. so yea very good idea.

Le trincee del fronte italiano durante la prima guerra mondiale erano molto strette perciò durante gli assalti era difficile usare la baionetta innestata sul fucile (che era troppo lungo) per questo gli Arditi preferivano usare un pugnale corto e la piccola mitragliatrice "Villar Perosa"
@@raimondonocco6623 TRANSLATION: The trenches of the Italian front during the First World War were very narrow so during the assaults it was difficult to use the bayonet attached to the rifle (which was too long) for this reason the Arditi preferred to use a short dagger and the small "Villar Perosa" machine gun
Arditi daggers were made out of bayonets though, most of them anyway. It's not unthinkable that some of them used different daggers, but the one in the video is definitely not the iconic dagger used by the Arditi.
sometimes when i see this videos i see some people weathered the object to be restored on pupose just to get views so i cant certainly trust and enjoy the videos of restorations anymore. but i used to watch like a lot of them

@@kejsazizolli3608 not "ardit" dude. They were the Arditi. They fought in the french alps in ww2, wearing heavy iron bulletproof armor while still climbing up the mountainside. They also used heavy machine guns. Italy was not on the side of the Germans, then known as the Ottoman Empire, during WW1. Theres a campaign level from Battlefield 1 that shows basically how the Arditi worked.
What an amazing work! Oh btw thank you for adding the dark opacity circle to reduce the intensity of the light, was watching in a total dark room and it turned so bright lol
I let out an audible "wow" when I saw you use a dim circle over the weld, that small touch earned you a subscriber. I can't tell you how many times I have been blinded by welds on yt, thank you for your effort in these videos :)
Just another amazing restoration. I'm not sure I've ever even missed one of your videos. Occasionally though I do go back and rewatch some of them sometimes they're really fascinating. Thanks for sharing. 😊
I like this type of restoration better then a lot of other channels. Yes the artifacts are cleaned, repaired, and made functional again but you can still see tiny details in it that clearly indicate it’s old. Some other channels go so far in the restoration process that the objects look like they came out of an assembly line yesterday with none of their original soul.
You can see the level of diligence in everything he does from the restoration work and at 5:12 by blurring the welding. Check other videos and not everybody does that, it saves your eyes.
Cameras may not pick up on the spectrum that would otherwise be harmful to our eyes, but that doesn't make the bright, bright light any more appealing to look at. It does indeed save your eyes to have it blurred like that, it's unnecessary, anti-aesthetic brightness otherwise. Might not outright blind you or do any lasting harm, but why keep a very bright flash regardless? I watch this shit at night before going to bed, intense lights also have the effect of staving off sleepiness, which I already normally do anyways just by looking at the screen, but I sure don't need MORE light in my eyes haha
Очень люблю ваши видео, так и хочется иметь свою собственную мастерскую что бы давать предметам новое дыхание, очень увлекательно , всегда смотрю вас с восторгом ^_^ Привет из Чехии 🇺🇦
Вы уж говорите за себя. И что в этой "работе" потрясающего? Антикварную вещь распилить, обработать пескоструйкой, это?! Это не реставратор, а мясник. Он не знает настоящей ценности предметов. Это больше похоже на работу с застареным новоделом.
It's so wild to me how much a metal surface, i dunno, expands? when it oxidizes. It looks like you're blasting away about half of the mass of the knife but when it's gone it looks like it hasn't lost any at all.
Yeah, iron expands by a factor of 10 when it oxidizes, that's part of why it is so corrosive. Causing pitting, cracking and flaking when it expands. this is also part of a positive feedback cycle, when a pit/crack/flake has started to form the rust will keep "working" on it in that spot. This is a curious case since the sand blasting shows a surprisingly pristine surface. Not saying it's fake, rust doesn't always cause pitting and flaking it's dependant on so many factors; galvanic variances in the material, composition of adjacent materials, environmental factors, ph, moisture, etc. For some steel (thou typically higher carbon steels like cast iron) the rust can even form a protective barrier of sorts preventing further corrosion. But yeeah, curious case with the amount of oxidization I was expecting the blade to be in a far worse condition. A personal theory is that the zink in the brass handle acted a bit like a sacrificial anode negating some of the destructive corrosion that would have occurred to the blade.
Observation: the cut near the tip of the knife looks like damage from another blade. Did you consider that you were obscuring the potential history of the blade? It does look fabulous!!
It is possible, but very unlikely that it's damage from another blade. Even if a knife like this was used for close combat in World War 1 (which many, many were), the odds of not only literally crossing blades with someone else, but also perfectly hitting the flat of the blade instead of the edge is next to impossible. On top of that, the gash is clean through the metal while not having broken off the tip of the knife, which would be far more likely to happen in a fight- another knife could never have done that. Again, while it's certainly not impossible, because nothing is, it's far more likely to be some kind of weathering or usewear

@Awesome Restorations Hi! What solution did you soak the dagger in (& for how long) to build up the uniform, dirt-free oxidation?
Handle was amazing looking. And I loved the finish of the blade, pitted (which looked fantastic!) and a mirror reflection, perfect contrast! And damn fine work on the repairs.
thank you so much for your kind words :)
What an amazing piece of history with a gorgeous restoration!
thank you so much Dawn :)
@@AwesomeRestorations You're more than welcome. Thank you for sharing your incredible talent/skill with us.
I am a Japanese person who always watches your videos. Your restoration process and work are precise and delicate, and I also enjoy that kind of work, so I learn a lot from it. Although my support may be small, I hope you will continue to support me.
I really appreciate the fact that when you welded you made it so I didn't get blinded.
You, my friend, have talent in droves. Not only are you AMAZING at restoration, but you also do a phenomenal job with your editing, camera angles, and all the little intricate details that make these videos so much fun to watch. I just subscribed to your channel today. Keep up the great work.
Thank you so much 😀 welcome aboard
An absolute Master Jedi of restoration. Just mind blown every time.

my friend is back, an impressive and useful video, thank you!
Thanks buddy for your kind words I really appreciate it 👍😉
god, thanks for the notifications and for this wonderful channel
Oh thank you so much :)
Excellent work!
Thank you for sharing this.
I really appreciate that there are craftsmen like yourself who are restoring these relics from WW I.
Thank you very much!
Your the best for darkening the welds!
thanks Michael glad you appreciate it :)

Beautiful knife.
It looks like something from hundreds of years ago.
Thanks for watching 👍
Well, it is 😂

Very good . .
Another beautiful piece. History is important.
Классная работа, спасибо за видео!
The sound and ambient are totally great in this video as well as the work itself 😄
thank you I am glad you think so
Did you add the woodpecker sounds?
This restorer is awesome. Look what he's accomplished. He's reconstructed a beautiful, lethal, true demon-destroying dagger.
You are a LEGEND for the welding blind. So many people don’t do that.
thanks a lot for your kind words
Not like it really changes anything. A simple video cannot replicate the infrared rays created by the welding flash
Masterful work! I so much appreciate the time and care you take with each project to really give the audience a product worth watching and waiting for! Please keep restoring old to new!
Such a good day when AR satisfy his fans with some chill stuffs.
Awesome as always buddy. Cheers🍻, have a heavenly day☀️
Thanks Daniel - glad you liked this one too 👍 cheers 😉
This WW1 Trench dagger looks beautiful. You did the restauration extremly well.
thank you so much :)
@@AwesomeRestorations it's awesome how you can restore Things that Others would just throw away
If that thing could talk, brought a tear to my eye at the end. Beautiful work.
thank you so much I am glad to hear that :)
"A chi sarà sempre riservata la gloria e la gioia di osare l’impossibile?"
-Of of few mottos of the Arditi
"Ardit" that sounds like an albanian name. its possible he was arbëresh or from calabria
@@kejsazizolli3608 not "ardit" dude. They were the Arditi. They fought in the french alps in ww2, wearing heavy iron bulletproof armor while still climbing up the mountainside. They also used heavy machine guns. Italy was not on the side of the Germans, then known as the Ottoman Empire, during WW1. Theres a campaign level from Battlefield 1 that shows basically how the Arditi worked.

Excelente trabalho! Delicado e preciso até as minúcias da peça. Parabéns desde aqui do Brasil 🇧🇷.
muito obrigado :)
What an amazing work!
Oh btw thank you for adding the dark opacity circle to reduce the intensity of the light, was watching in a total dark room and it turned so bright lol
thank you s omuch Robert :)
The turquoise color of the dirty handle was actually quite wonderful
I let out an audible "wow" when I saw you use a dim circle over the weld, that small touch earned you a subscriber. I can't tell you how many times I have been blinded by welds on yt, thank you for your effort in these videos :)
thank you so much for your comment and for watching :)
LMFAOOO
I’ve never understood that… it’s limited by the brightness on your phone l?😂
since you're so talented, there would be nice to see a video about the work you've done to make this weapon look old and "rusty" as well
Looks like they dipped the hilt in water and rolled it in powered Draino or some other abrasive detergent.
Just another amazing restoration. I'm not sure I've ever even missed one of your videos. Occasionally though I do go back and rewatch some of them sometimes they're really fascinating.
Thanks for sharing. 😊
This is my new favorite channel to watch. This guy is amazing
Он прекрасен! спасибо за работу!
thanks for watching :) glad you liked it
2:00 nearly sent me into cardiac arrest that scared me so bad lol
sorry :)
Same!! I scrolled to see if anyone else got freaked
What? I can't see anything?
I like this type of restoration better then a lot of other channels. Yes the artifacts are cleaned, repaired, and made functional again but you can still see tiny details in it that clearly indicate it’s old. Some other channels go so far in the restoration process that the objects look like they came out of an assembly line yesterday with none of their original soul.
thanks for your comment. It is not easy to say what it the right way but I like to maintain some of the patina of the objects I restore :)
Amazingly restored. What a great piece of history you now have.
thank you so much :)
You can see the level of diligence in everything he does from the restoration work and at 5:12 by blurring the welding. Check other videos and not everybody does that, it saves your eyes.
glad you like it :)
A phone screen can't reach the luminosity of welding.
Are you serious? 🤣🤣 Please tell me you're not serious.
Cameras may not pick up on the spectrum that would otherwise be harmful to our eyes, but that doesn't make the bright, bright light any more appealing to look at. It does indeed save your eyes to have it blurred like that, it's unnecessary, anti-aesthetic brightness otherwise. Might not outright blind you or do any lasting harm, but why keep a very bright flash regardless? I watch this shit at night before going to bed, intense lights also have the effect of staving off sleepiness, which I already normally do anyways just by looking at the screen, but I sure don't need MORE light in my eyes haha
I hope you are joking.
My father was in the 101st Airborne Division. Interesting seeing the patch on your torch canister!! Awesome @3:00
thanks, glad you liked it :)
My husband was 101st as well around 06-09! Currahee!

This knife could come from the 3 Shocktrooper units from Italy during the War: Arditi, Bersagileri, or Alpini
👍👍
More likely a Chinese replica, that has been corroded to make a TH-cam video
@@mm_____ is not easy found Chinese replica of this kind of things
@@mm_____ the blade steel does look very cheap
@@andream2854 its really really easy to find chinese replicas of most historic knives
I like the way that you censor the light when welding, so it's not hurt to the eyes when we watched it.
glad you liked it
Phenomenal work as always!!!! Keep up the excellent job!!!
thank you so much I really appreciate it 😊
@@AwesomeRestorations you are very welcome

Автор, спасибо, что не закрылись от русского народа! Ваша работа потрясающая и достойна внимания) заслуженный лайк😉
Русский народ сам избрал такой путь ! Отворачиваются от вас не просто так задумайтесь!
Вы уж говорите за себя. И что в этой "работе" потрясающего? Антикварную вещь распилить, обработать пескоструйкой, это?! Это не реставратор, а мясник. Он не знает настоящей ценности предметов. Это больше похоже на работу с застареным новоделом.
@@niknik4499 иди в дупу и там задумайся.

You definitely have talent...baker, dentist and restorer. I don't even watch other restorers as they don't come close to you.
thank you so much for your kind words I really appreciate it. Have a great week-end 😊
Отличная работа!
Получил удовольствие от просмотра Вашего ролика👍
Beautiful work Martin :) How is it possible that I missed this video 🤔 Thanks, Radek
thank you. Better late than never :)
It's so wild to me how much a metal surface, i dunno, expands? when it oxidizes. It looks like you're blasting away about half of the mass of the knife but when it's gone it looks like it hasn't lost any at all.
Yeah, iron expands by a factor of 10 when it oxidizes, that's part of why it is so corrosive. Causing pitting, cracking and flaking when it expands. this is also part of a positive feedback cycle, when a pit/crack/flake has started to form the rust will keep "working" on it in that spot.
This is a curious case since the sand blasting shows a surprisingly pristine surface. Not saying it's fake, rust doesn't always cause pitting and flaking it's dependant on so many factors; galvanic variances in the material, composition of adjacent materials, environmental factors, ph, moisture, etc. For some steel (thou typically higher carbon steels like cast iron) the rust can even form a protective barrier of sorts preventing further corrosion. But yeeah, curious case with the amount of oxidization I was expecting the blade to be in a far worse condition.
A personal theory is that the zink in the brass handle acted a bit like a sacrificial anode negating some of the destructive corrosion that would have occurred to the blade.
Amazing restoration again ! Hole's repair are really incredible ! Very good work ! Continue to dream us my friend 😊🥰😛
Thank you Cyril I really appreciate it 👍 Cheers!
Observation: the cut near the tip of the knife looks like damage from another blade. Did you consider that you were obscuring the potential history of the blade?
It does look fabulous!!
It is possible, but very unlikely that it's damage from another blade. Even if a knife like this was used for close combat in World War 1 (which many, many were), the odds of not only literally crossing blades with someone else, but also perfectly hitting the flat of the blade instead of the edge is next to impossible. On top of that, the gash is clean through the metal while not having broken off the tip of the knife, which would be far more likely to happen in a fight- another knife could never have done that. Again, while it's certainly not impossible, because nothing is, it's far more likely to be some kind of weathering or usewear
