- TK's has found a neglected, white handled Victorinox Classic SD and experiments with a thorough cleanup. The handles are dingy and scratched, the scissors stick closed, and the action is gritty. Watch and find out how he tackles this little project.

I like this type of video. I’ve had a lot of fun cleaning up old knives I’ve picked up over the years.
Yes, I enjoy the prccoess and experimenting with different methods. Thanks for having a look, Jon.
I did a little experimenting on a Classic SD last year. I have like a dozen of them laying around… 🙄😂 I decided one day to do a little clean up on one I had that was in pretty rough shape. I used 1000, 2000,5000 grit wet/dry sandpaper and cleaned them up like I usually do. This one in particular had some pretty deep scratches in the scales. I went a little too deep and the shield actually came off. I took quite a bit of material off of it before the shield came off. So you can go somewhat deep to remove scratches! Now I know approximately how far I can go. It looks almost new. I’m gonna get some new scales for it and it will pretty much be brand new. It will go into the rotation of my Victorinox SAK’s. Keep up the great videos! Thanks👍
I've been doing a number of cleanups will need to shoot a new video to provide an update of what I'm doing now. Thanks, IO.
Nice cleanup, scales look good, scratches will develop as knife is used, Thanks for the video!
Just a basic cleanup, Glad the scissors were an easy fix. Thanks Jose.
Thanks for publishing the tutorial. Especially like seeing someone using/demonstrating use of an ultrasonic cleaner for this application. Hope you and yours had a peaceful and merry Christmas.
Glad it was helpful, Larry. You have a happy holidays.
Merry Christmas TK. Thank you for all the great videos this year.
Thank you. Here's to more of the same in 2023. Cheers, David
You got that looking very nice. Thanks for sharing, TK!
It looks even better still after giving it some more love on the buffing wheel. Thanks for doing the Slice of Life interview with me, KD. Should now be uploaded as I'm typing this.
very well demonstrated, subbed
Welcome! Thanks for joining is. Glad you enjoyed the review.
That knife came out pretty nice, buddy. Well done! Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Thanks David, I hope you enjoyed your Christmas. I've kept on polishing this little guy so it's even better now that when the video ended. 👍
Nice clean up job! I found a victorinox executive with black covers and a U.S.A. made Camillus 91 pattern congress at a flea market a couple weeks ago. I was able to clean them and get them back into working order. I was surprised when I found out the tang stamp on the Camillus was dated between 1970-1980.
Always fun to find a knife to be older than what you expected. I still have plenty to do to get better at this. So my journey is not complete. Thanks. BTW I polshed the covers even more after the video and they just keep looking better. Be well, Steve.
@@ThriftyKaniffy thanks TK, same to you. It’s good to hear that’s coming along even better than you thought. Keep up the good work and I know we all appreciate your content!
Thank you TK
Yessir. Hope you enjoyed me fumbling around with this little guy.
@@ThriftyKaniffy I always enjoy your shows TK thank you. You do a fine job!
An enjoyable video TK, which adds real value, for people - you've got me thinking maybe I should start doing some 'How To' Videos... 😉
Seasonal greetings to you J
Atb Gus 👍
I'd be a fan of that. Happy Hoildays to you, Gus.
Great clean up you can get new tweezers and toothpicks at SMKW! Have a very Merry Christmas ⛄⛄⛄🎄🎄🎄🎄
Yes, you sure can. I cleaned them pretty good. No nasties. Thanks, Mike.
Merry Christmas TK and Everyone Happy Holidays enjoy the day 🎄🙏🏻
Merry Christmas, Craig. Thanks for all the support throughout the year.
Shiny like a new dime . 👍 🎄
Nice job.
The Victorinox collection is gonna grow if I like it or not if I continue buying knives on ebay. LOL. Thanks, Michael.
Good work! What cleaner are you using in the Ulta sonic? I just cleaned up my key chain Rambler.
Sans magnasonic....
Thanks.
Just some cheap degreaser I found in the dollar store called orange something or other. The ultrasonic does a good job of cleaning out the microscopic stuff. Thank you, Rick.
@@ThriftyKaniffy Thank you.
Nice TK. Thanks for the share.
You bet, hope you enjoyed the little cleanup.
Hey thrifty Merry Christmas I have I think 2 of them!!!! Honestly I never took to it it’s just to small I know it’s a keychain tool but I really never found use I put a Spyderco bug on my keys it’s fantastic size for the keys!!! Anyway it’s Christmas morning here in Jersey it’s 7:30 have a wonderful day I may shoot a video if I get anything interesting but my wife hates knives lol 😊
It's chilly, but tolerable here in Northern Texas on Christmas day at 7:33 AM in the moning'. Stay with me. Ya know whatta mean. It's just fantastic, it really is. Be well, be safe , be merry with bells on, and be safe out there. I'll let you get on down the road. Merry Christmas, Pete.
@@ThriftyKaniffy thanks buddy I appreciate you!!! Don’t worry I’m stickin wit you all the way!!!! 😊
Nice video Merry Christmas !
Thanks! You too Elphoenix.
What was the name of the cleaner you used?
I think I used Glass Plus here. Thanks, Jon.
@@ThriftyKaniffy thanks
Nice.
The SD tweezers and toothpicks are 'small' and the regular 91mm knife tweezers and toothpick are 'large'. A pack of 6 small tweezers is $8, 6 small toothpicks are $5.50, the large are $10 and $6 for six each large tweezers and toothpicks.
Smoky Mtn Knife Works sells them individually, and in different colors, but they charge roughly 1/2 of what the pack of six regular colors cost.
Yes, I've seen them sold there. Thanks for the info, BFVgnr.
Merry Christmas TK
Merry Christmas, Zen.. Have a great holiday. 🎄
Nice work, but try a plastic specific polish maybe. It might give better results. Also, just order of operations wise, or just for sake of doing you need to run it through the ultrasonic bath again.
Flitz does say it is for plastics, while for metal as well. Yea I should give it another bath to get all the polish off. Thanks, Don.
Nice job, it might save time buffing out the scales before doing the internals to save some time.
Yea true. Oh well we live and learn. Thanks Gizmo.
Merry Christmas, TK! Gotta get myself a better ultrasonic cleaner,I don't think mine's even sonic :). Great job on that white SD, which reminds me that I don't have a white SAK yet.
Oh cool, should be fun to play around with. The white scales are a refreshing change from the red. Thanks, DD.
I just got a black one today and put it on my keys, not even an hour later its all scuffed up.
Yep the scales are susceptible to small scratches. Thanks.
pipe (smokers tobacco pipe) cleaners off eBay, pack of 50 very cheap for cleaning 👍🏽👍🏽
I have lots of those. They do okay. Thanks, Tim
I think I may have mentioned it before but building cement is great as an abrasive, add a little water mix to a paste brilliant for cleaning blades so can't see why it wouldn't work on the covers. 😁
I'll keep that in mind, thanks for the tip Lewis.
It doesn’t matter watch how beat up they get on your keys!!
Just practicing is all. Merry Christmas , Pete.
Thanks West. Happy holidays.
