    Looks like new. My dad always carried a pocket knife with him. He had the exact same one. Hes gone 41 years and I have it as a keep-sake in my desk draw. The main blade is slightly worn down because he always sharpened it and gave it a lot of use. Thanks for fond memories.

      Those old Imperial knives were inexpensive, but not cheap! The steel blades are a pleasure to sharpen!

    You see, that’s the difference between us restorers and mere mortals. We see a knife like that as a challenge where as most people would take one look and throw it away. I don’t mind the pitting, it helps show it’s age and gives it some character. That $3 tool box still just keeps on giving. Cheers Stuart 🇦🇺

    I remember buying one of these at an auto parts store for $1. They were displayed on the counter. It's nice to have a cheap knife handy for dirty jobs you wouldn't want to use your good knives for.

    I remember having this knife attached to a belt loop as part of my cub scout uniform when attending my 1958 club meetings. Can't remember what happened to it. Probably my parents got ride of it along with a lot of other stuff when I moved out to go to school.

    Most of these people who do these restorations never say anything at all during the entire restoration process. I want to know what it is that is being used and why it is being used and for how long it should be used befor you switch to another project. Most of these people who do these restoration videos never say anything at all it is like watching a silent video from the 1920’s.

    My Dad got 2 of these as prizes for some fundraising event his elementary school did in the late 70's or early 80's. What a time to be a kid... He later gave me one as my first pocket knife when I was all of about 5 years old. Same deal for my little sister. Then I got my first .22 rifle at 6! From one childhood to the next, those Kamp King knives are very familiar and special to me. I'm 24 now, and I'll never part with that knife or that rifle. They helped to make my boyhood years magical. Excellent work!

    I have this exact same pocket knife. My father bought it for me at a J.C. Penny bargain store in Villa Park, IL back in the early 1970s. I remember that day well because my dad was uncomfortable buying me a knife especially a real expensive one (it cost $1.00). I still have the knife and occasionally pull it out and admire the quality workmanship that went into the knife. lol. Funny, when I got that knife I thought it was the coolest thing I ever had. Goes to show you, I really did not have very much.

    Nice! You can never really restore a badly pitted knife back to new condition, but I'll tell you, that knife looks great and will last indefinitely after you oiled it and all , and if it's cleaned and stored properly after use. Man, that's got to feel good seeing that new life you gave it!

    I had basically the same knife as a kid, but it was a Camillus. It had rotten handle scales on it and smelled like pickles. Razor sharp main blade.

    Does Mrs. 357 know you’re using her toothbrush to scrub rusty old stuff?

      She doesn't use a toothbrush anymore - she uses my Dremel and Flitz!

    Should of took that black skin coating off and painted it black for future protection on the caps.

    • @357magdad
      @357magdad  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks for watching! It looked like the plating protected the shells and the black plastic was in good enough shape to leave alone. I have painted similar pocket knives with damaged or missing plastic.

    Really nice work! Alternatives for a couple of your methods, if you and other watchers are interested. For the inside curves of the bottle cap lifter and the can opener, I’ve used the small diameter Dremel grinding stones that are sold for chainsaw sharpening. For down inside the body of the knife, I use various shapes of jewelers files, and finish with narrow strips of sandpaper-180 and finer-wrapped around a flat jewelers file or similar shape. I doubt my methods work any better than yours, just alternatives some might like to try.
    As far as pits, if a thick blade has shallow pits, sometimes I have carefully ground blades thinner to get rid of pits. But that’s a lot of painstaking work.
    Hope to see more of your knife restorations! 😁

    • @mikewatkins7618
      @mikewatkins7618 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      By the way, Pocketknives made with these fake bolsters and scales that you call “hubcaps” are referred to as “shell-handle knives” in the knife industry.

    WOW It is a nice knife that anyone could enjoy using when they go camping The scars and pitting would not bother me to use it I treasure the one I recently found since I used to have one as a Kid and always took it when my brother and me went hiking There is a good video on YT showing the different years they were made and the differences in the parts

    357magdad,
    Another great restoration my friend!
    You're one of the 1st restoration guys I've seen on here, who brought a Pocket Knife back to looking that good without totally disassembling it!
    What I mean is, I've seen others on here, attempt to restore pocket knives without disassembling them, but when all was said and done, their knives didn't end up with much luster.
    In fact, a few of them, didn't even get all the dirt off of their knives!!
    Again, great job, bud!

    I used to have the same Kamp King knife. I got it in an auto parts store for a buck and used it for years. It was made int the style of a classic boy scout knife. If a guy can enjoy owning and using a $1000 knife, more power to him, but I get more fun finding good value.

    That is absolutely fantastic! Those are like the old Boy Scout knives of years gone by. Others were made by Case and Camilis. I’m well into my 70’s and love old tools I also use them in my workshop as a cabinet maker.
    PS.. I have so many antique/ old tools if you ever want some I’ll gladly send whatever you’d like! ...
