Old Timer. Great knives. When I was a kid I think everyone I knew had one. Have a great day
Yep back in the day. They were the knives fir sure. Be safe
Great job. It looks ready to go again. Billy will cherish it.
Thankyou. Billy is a good guy and hopefully it works for him. Thanks for watching always appreciated 😁

Nice refurbishment George. Those older knive were treasures. Take care.
Thankyou my friend. Safe weekend to you
WOW! My gdad & dad are looking down from the pearly gates in amazement after what they both put that sharp & shiny through, & the sheath, you have way over done yourself my friend. Thank you again George. You have become really special to me. You have changed my life from setting around to buying knives & learning to whittle. The lovely Mrs. Godby also thanks you for getting me off the couch & back in the outdoors. If you ever get to SW Colorado, you better give me a call. Lots of folks stop through Pagosa on there way to & from Cali to set in the world’s deepest hot springs. Again my friend, you & I will be in touch with more sharp & shiny’s. And thanks for the advice on the Opinel #9, got a carbon steel coming my way. Have a great 4th & stay safe. Take care of yourself as well & thanks again George.
Glad to help my friend stay well
I enjoyed seeing an old knife brought back to life. I would carry that knife the slip really makes personal happy 4th of July. Well done George !
Thankyou sir. As always be safe. Happy 4th to you and yours
Came out really good. Thanks for sharing the process with us. God bless you and your family.
Thank you my friend
Nice to see you doing projects with the new tool setup and learning it! The knife came out really nice and the slip is awesome!
Yep thankyou sir. Learning....again...lol. be safe
You and I are on a similar journey . I love cleaning up old knives and tools... im also learning to sharpen.
Lol..I feel your pain. Appreciate the support
Good work George looks better than before. The new tool set up 👌. You take care now George and don’t cut yourself . I did an hour back sharpening my hunting knife.
Thankyou. Lol do that alot 😂
Slip is excellent!!!
Thankyou my friend
I sent one of those little colonial/mini Bowie to the knife doctor awhile back .they would make a cool little letter opener lol
Lol awesome! You are funny... like your videos.
Thankyou much appreciated. Be safe today
A great improvement, the custom blades, interesting, thanks for the video, George, hope you had a nice 4th of July.
Thankyou sir. It was a day spent with some friends.
Beautiful job! Well done, George! Haha! at minute 6:11 - "My bad. Safety glasses. And of course, everbody's gonna shout at me because I didn't have this on." 😁 Hey Buddy, we only shout atcha 'cause we love ya and want to keep ya around so we can keep on watchin' yer videos! Trust me, it's all selfish reasons, really.
Lol..true
Great job George. Beautiful slip as well.
Tha kyou my friend
@@2ndchancegeorge You are a real inspiration. I have made 2 knife slips today. I borrowed your design that you borrowed. Imitation is the highest honor you know.
Lol..thats great to hear...now you hooked 👍. It just gets better from here. Experiment, try new stuff...oh the joy. Be safe my friend
Can you send me some pics. We can share them with all. Best is thru Instagram. Find me George Waring.
I haven't used Instagram in many years. Disabled it on my phone. I use Facebook and X.
Beautiful job on that one, buddy! Happy 4th to you and yours!
Thankyou. Backbatbyou my friend. Be safe 😁
Great job on the restoration, George! The Dremel and accessories are great to have. I have a couple of Old Timer's that were made here in the U.S. One of them, I think is just like the one you worked on. It needs some TLC. Mine is still factory, no mods. 👍🏻👍🏻
Nice. Greatnlittle knives to own. Found one yesterday in local thrift stores. Needs a little love but bladescavpretty good. Be safe
Hope Billy feels better soon. Nice clean up on the knife! I find I’m using masking tape more and more often on the blades while working on them, worth it to take the extra time when transforming dull and rustys to sharp and shinys!
Yep I normally do that. Thankyou for the reminder. Be safe my friend. Happy 4th
I discovered Flitz and a toothbrush gets the crud off the covers and tang rather well.
Ahhh. Good tip thankyou. Appreciate the help, always appreciated.thanks for watching and be safe out there Be safe
💪
Lol...thankyou my friend.
The original owner probably used a file to “sharpen” the blade and as a result removed steel over time, not a good choice, but all you can do is use your work sharp and sharpen it , it’s an old worn knife you cannot change it but make the most of what you have to work with, you did good George
Yep. I really did not want to take more off. It would have landed up shortening the big blade. Hope Billy is happy. Be safe this 4th.
Nice job. How about an opinel with a horn handle from an antler with file work on the spine of the blade in the shape of choice or a twin blade whittler main blade could be the normal 9 and a 8 modded to a wharncliffe.
Ahhh like those ideas...trying to figure out if a could mod an 8 to two ends with that's like a congress...lol. a challenge. Thanks for watching. Appreciate the support
@@2ndchancegeorge if you want to you could use a no.6 - no.9 and make a 4 blade congress or did you prefer the half congress
I'm thinking double the issue is how wide the blade slot will be...lol. working on it. 🤔 #8
I saw a knife similar to a Opinal but company called Jose DA Cruz you ever seen ?
No ill check them out. Thanyou. Appreciate the support. Be safe
Good work George. Keep at it, you'll only get better and better. You mentioned someone called Lacey Lace that is a master sharpener. Does she have a TH-cam channel? I'd like to see it if she does. Could you provide that in your next video? Thanks again.
Yep I find a link fir you. Also on I stagram. Thanks for watching
@edcandlace
Lacy is at @edcandlace on you tube
Search edc and lace on youtube. For some reason yt won't let me put the link in comments
@@2ndchancegeorge Thanks George!!
The reason your having a hard time sharpening is because your sharpening at 17 degrees then you use the ceramic rod angle guides that are either 25 or 20 degrees! Freehand using ceramic rod you should be better
Ahh. Maybe I need to use my regular ceramic rids. Giid catch my friend. Happy 4th to you and yours
WOW! My gdad & dad are looking down from the pearly gates in amazement after what they both put that sharp & shiny through, & the sheath, you have way over done yourself my friend. Thank you again George. You have become really special to me. You have changed my life from setting around to buying knives & learning to whittle.

My you are welcome. It's not perfect but way better. You have a great 4th with the family and all. Stay well my friend
