Hello everyone! This old knife restoration was definitely a fun and easy restoration with my new vice. Funny thing is that I got it in the middle of the video. Hey, better ever than never, right 😊 Stay safe and see you next Monday 😊 Boris, Norway
@@FFD_Restorations I've got the 125th anniversary edition of this knife it's not nearly as impressive as this older model. It's really boring. And the handle stains very easy just in moderate use. I've cleaned and sanded it multiple times.
Nice to see old knifes saved. I.m born and raised in Mora and i had practise on one of the knife factorys a short while. Based on that logo on the knife it should be from around 1930-1950. Good job.
Of all the repair or restoration videos I’ve seen, I believe this is the first craftsman I’ve found who’s been willing to take the time to clean up and repair the handle on the piece being revived. I’m very pleased to have discovered your work. Many thanks!
Wonderful restoration. I didn't realize until the end of the video that it was an old Morakniv. I have to get that vise! 👍 Also I very much appreciate that you preserve every piece on the restoration that you can, that is the true mark of a faithful restorer of antiquities and relics.
Mora's are excellent knives , I have 2 of them. My first was the Wilderness model which I bought for 13 dollars from Smoky Mountain Knife Works. The 2nd one I bought from the same place and it was a blade blank of which I think is the same blade as the Clipper. I put a cedar wood handle on it and I made a leather sheath for it. Now I carry it as part of my EDC.
¡Que madera difícil para lograrle una terminación más vistosa! De todas formas se nota que ha cumplido perfectamente con su función y lo seguirá haciendo. Muy interesante.
Awesome! Thanks for restoring the wood handle as well- most of other TH-camrs just replace it and kill the history with it. You coul have split the crack completely, clean the split area and glued it together first (I would use bone glue mix with some rabbit skin glue) to avoid using the 2K fix. If you prefer the used look fantastic (I do) but you can refresh wheathered wood too. Love your work!
Thank you for sharing such an challenging restoration ... didn't think it would be anywhere close to the beautiful results you achieved ... Wow amazing

Unfortunately there will be haters no matter what you do or how good your work is, please don't stop the content. I enjoy seeing other people's methods and maybe something that will help me in the future.
Вот это настоящая реставрация!!! 👍Огромная благодарность мастеру за то, что сохранил все оригинальные детали предмета. Смотрел и душа радовалась. Здоровья и благополучия Вам. С уважением.👋👋👋👌👌👌🙌
You gave that old Mora a 2nd life very nice job on the restoration. I believe it’s a Mora #1, I own several when I go to the woods I wear a Mora 1or 2 around my neck Mors Kochanski style.
Love seeing the old Mora restorations. I am MagnetMan and I have found lots of them in the water in Sweden. I'd love to restore mine but don't have the tools and skill you have. Keep up the good work and I will continue to learn so maybe one day I can restore the many I have collected magnet fishing in Sweden 😁
It’s been a while since I’ve had time to just sit down and watch one of your amazing videos it’s been much needed. Phenomenal work Boris keep it up hope you and the family are doing good.
Clear epoxy looks great on handles to bro, and it polishes put nice, i sometimes thread tip of tang and put small brass nut on them... great job on knife. Awesome vid!
3 cheers for the hand-cranked grinding wheel, and where most people throw the handle away, you kept it, and that was a good move. As close to original as it gets.
Excellent work! One of the few that did care to save the wood. This gives an extra quality touch! Perfect! Also the care of saving the original markings is correct! Great job!!!
Great job man I personally would have just made a new handle but I love the fact that you even though there was a huge crack you were actually able to repurpose the original handle and I love the new bench vise I would love to see if you could find a self turning screwdriver to restore
Thanks 👍 I try to save every piece that I can. This handle is at least 60 years old, so it would be shame to throw it away... I really do appreciate watching!
Broken handle and it was still a pain to get it off. Really well made knife, only if it was taken care of over the years. Nice that some one takes the time to give it longer life.
this is better then 99% of other youtube so-called restaurations! With exception of possibly to much material loss of the knife-blade, the other channels should follow You.
Thanks Grant! I am chasing them all the time. I have a pile of old knives now and for at least one year shooting material ... which is nice. I don't have to stress too much about finding a good candidate for a video :) Cheers
Knife came out great. You kept the original handle. I wonder if the handle could be sanded, oiled and polished, even better to show the actual grain pattern instead of what appears to be dirt or soil.
Dude thanks it's the real restoration,not like 90% of scam here on youtube, a little tip: drill a tiny hole on the end of the crack before you do anything else. And one more,back in a days they didn't use a fancy wood on these handles so they painted them, mostly black, sometimes green,paintjib was good with primer and all

Fantastic job ! That blade came up great, you did a sterling job on it. The minute i saw you use that hand turn wire wheel and polisher I subscribed. 👌 Greetings from England.

As always mate, it's AWESOME!!! Ihave one advice if you don't mind : with the next wooden handle, you can use the dust after sanding with white glue. It will be strong enough! See you soon!!
Much appreciated mate 😉 Thanks for the tip! Always happy to hear and learn something new! Actually I have stopped using wood glue (white glue, I hope we think the same) because if it comes often with water and such it wears off. I am not talking one or two times, it takes some time to wear off but it is not long lasting. At least from my experience... Take care mate!
I've been watching your videos for a while now, but I've never restored a tool myself. I've decided, however, to do my grandad's old axe. I've noticed you used vinegar, after which you sanded the blade down to bare metal anyway. Does vinegar help sanding off the rust? Thanks for your satisfying videos, btw, and take care 👌
Hey there, that is awesome to hear! Vinegar will help to remove some rust but not completely. Be careful how long you keep it in the vinegar. If it stays too long it will start eating good metal. My main reason for using vinegar is to remove loose rust and dust. Sanding without this step creates a lot of fine dust and it is messy in my opinion. Hope I answered your question! Good luck and be patient ☺️
When I make my own wood filler I use ordinary wood glue because it will dry up clear so the filler will get the same color as the wood dust that I use and you can get a wood glue that is waterproof when dry. When I mix it I use more wood dust than glue.
El cuchillo quedó realmente hermoso me gusta mucho tu canal ya que haces todo a mano sin ocupar herramientas eléctricas pero tengo una duda que liquido ocupaste para limpiar el óxido de la hoja del cuchillo y que materiales mesclaste con el polvo de la madera saludos

I see the blade was made by Mora. That is definitely worth a restauration.
