Very nicely done with whatever tools you had. Perhaps with more restorations and some more better tools you will achieve fantastic results. Wishing you all the very best~! :)
I mean all in all it still seemed professionally restored, only real new tools needed would be a belt sander and those range from 350-6000 or more but for small knifes and swords 1000-1500 would buy I very good one
Judging from the bad quality of the mouldings on the crossguard, this is pretty much Tourist gift shop quality, rather than a real sword. He vastly improved the thing.
You're absolutely right, but were mouldings any better on mass produced real military swords? I know handcrafted stuff that officers got were likely higher quality (Depending on how much the officer or noble was willing to spend) but the lower level soldiers' swords and daggers. Would they have been much better than this? (As far as mould quality, not blade or tang quality)
If the blade was hardened steel, you introduced stress fractures by cold hammering it thus ruining the blade. It looks like it may have just been mild steel so it was junk to begin with.
First thing I check on ANY knife is blade quality...give it a simple "ting"test, that'll tell you roughly what your dealing with. The blade does not necessarily need to be shinyshiny, rather leave it dull and preserve any etching that is present. This was a good training run...keep at it...good luck...
This does come across as a Chinese junk wall display piece. That was the first thing I thought too when he was hammering on it. It had to be soft metal. No practical use other than as a display piece on the wall. Pretty blade though.
@@superdave8248 it wouldn't work in battle, but I'm pretty sure since nowadays nobody wears armor, you could very well use this to stab someone in the guts without a problem...
I’m not gonna lie I think you restored my childhood Toledo dagger....I ligitimtly think this used to belong to me and I’m very happy to see the home it went to, this was stolen from me after I recovered it from my childhood neighborhood where I buried it 10 years prior, I had it for two months and it was stolen and I never saw it again, originally it had a wire wrapped handle but the wire rusted off and I cleaned up the wood but everything else literally brought tears to my eye that I found it 😊 even if it was not with me, thank you
This item appears, as so many other "rusted relics" on U-Tube, to have the look of rust just recently induced. That blade's appearance does not resemble the hilt & grip as far as the entire piece aging together would appear, had the piece aged simultaneously, ie. as a unit, it doesn't match, re. its alleged age of neglect. The fine threads on that shaft indicate its manufacture from a time that's ANYTHING but "relic" related. And WTH would you continue to emery that blade to the point that there's now barely a trace of its prior engraving?! Where did THAT faux pas enter the thought process? And a FILE is used to recover the former sharp edge of a sword?! This "restoration" is just a conglomeration of incongruity!
Eloquently spoken sir. My feelings and thought precisely as I watched him shred all traces of supposed history I could not believe how so many could send congratulations.
You were doing great until you put the grip on backwards. The grip should taper toward the blade so the larger end provides a lower chance of it slipping out of the hand. Easy enough to fix, though. Just turn it around. I like the faceted design. In a real sword it would provide more control of edge alignment in cuts. Your painting of the hilt added a lot to it and made it more beautiful than the makers ever dreamed. An idea; if your attempts to burn he wood were not done for comedy, I suggest you get one of the blowtorch-like lighters used by some cigar smokers.
The pommel helps with slipping when the handle narrows towards it, so it doesn't only balance the blade. The original pommel here was just a decoration as the blade itself though, and it's now more sensible than it was before in my opinion. Most swords and daggers I've seen and held have had their handle like in the restored version and it's actually more ergonomic to hold when it's like that.
The original handle has a swell in the middle and tapers toward either end. The handle he removed isn't even close and looks like it came off of an old wooden handled screwdriver.
@@wesleyworley8982 Just my two cents, but I wouldn't be surprised if this wasn't Chinese manufactured. The wood handle probably did come off the assembly line and was left overs from another product line. They just found a repurpose for somebody else excess production run picked up for cheap.
@@JSNRestoration, No. Restoration is the restoration of all parts and bringing them to their original, original form. This “master” erased all the original elements on the blade and drew nonsense with a laser.
great job on the restoration. i would however recommend perhaps looking into getting a longer and wider flat file when doing the edges as this aids in getting even long smooth strokes to give you an even flat and straight edge.

@@captainbubbles5509 the biggest things would be straightening the blade while it's cold, the loss of the original engraving on the blade, and changing the design of the grip.
