The single most useful (pro-tip) demo of peening pins of pocket knives. A real MASTER.
Hello:
Let me begin by saying muskrat man has his act together, he has the mechanical background to circumvent the repair process. Watch closely as he drops a few very guarded secrets within the cutlery repair industry. The key to this video lies within musratmans vast experience over the years.Have ever tried to ask a craftsmen his secret to a certain repair. The response usually isn't what you wanted to hear but muskrat man tells all.A must see instructional video.
Now that was a good video. Full of some excellent information. I have obviously been beating pins too much and over thinking things.
I, for one, would love to see more video's from you!! A great job as usual. I would expect anything less. A very big difference from what you are doing and what I'm seeing that others are doing!!
I guess that's called "craftsmanship". Keep up the good work!
My first time to watch your video. You bid an outstanding job on the Schrade . Ono of my favorite knives.
Excellent job! Watched the entire video.
Good work ! I'm glad to see that craftsmanship and attention to detail is still alive and well. Thank you for sharing this with us.
This was the video I was looking for....fixing a broken spring. Great tutorial and step thru this whole process. Thanks very much.
Just ran across this video 7 years late. Very nice. Good Job !
I have sent knives to you and glad to see your on U -Tube. You repaired my Hitler Youth knife that I thought was destroyed. will watch and subscribe . Great workmanship .
Excellent tutorial! It is nice to watch how another knife mechanic does the work. I learned a few things because I was watching instead of doing the work. Nice job!
I am not a huge fan of the Chinese made schrade knives, but at least they don't use Swindon key construction. Thanks for making this video I am only just past halfway and have already learned a couple of good techniques.
You made this video a while ago, but I really like the drilling technique you show at the 9 minute mark. I will be making a jig so I can hold things flat from the underside of a flat jig - so simple that I never thought of it.
Hi
Really enjoyed this video , I'm taking up slipjoint repair this coming year after being a collector for many years.
Many thanks for this informative and clear video.
Great video good information.
i've always had a problem with keyhole knives.....now i know what to do...thank you sir.
That drill jig idea was at 08:24 is genius, love that. Thanks for sharing =)
Great job! Wish you were doing more videos! I’d send you a couple of my old knives to fix.
Thank you. This was very informative! Just the video I needed
Your a master of your craft. I totally enjoyed your video. Thank you for showing us.
exellent video,not many people would know how to do this,thanks for shareing.
Best video I have seen on knife repair. Thanks and keep them coming.
Thank you MM for the video. Its the best explanation of peining I've seen to date, and, not just the peining but the overall process. I have a lot of older knives I have picked up in auctions that I'd like to try my hand on, this helps immensely.This is the first video of yours that I have seen, am also interested in old switches. Thanks again
Hey Muskrat man, VERY NICE VIDEO, THANK YOU! This woman has been collecting knives since she was about 10 years old (sure wish I had some of those, unfortunately I lost about my first 40 in a house fire back in the early 90's). Since then, I've accumulated a collection of roughly 700 pockets and maybe 100 fixed blades and more recently began making kit knives.All except one were fixed blades and I did everything by trial and error. Have made quite a few really nice fixed blades unfortunately, the one slip joint folder kit I built; although it turned out beautiful to look at with nice bone handles, I F'd up when peening the pivot pin as I did not have a proper set of gauges and OF COURSE, the blades do open and close but no snap in any position.Sure wish I had watched YOUR VIDEO before trying to make that folder which was a trapper. I have one more kit of the same and now I think I can get to work on it after watching your tutorial. (I have gauges now too.)Thank you very, very much. I hope to see more videos from you in the future, VERY nice work. (wish I could just send you about 50 of mine and have you fix them!)Take care,Sandi
Wow, you did a great job giving that knife a new life, is like new👍
I learned a great deal by watching your video, I can't wait until you do more, I would love to see one on scale repair or replacement. I found this while looking for a way to repair a Ulster Barlow a friend gace to me.
As did I,very cool video
Awesome vid! very informative for the learner knife maker, respect from New Zealand!! Look forward to watching more. Kris,.
I have an old Schrade made Craftsman barlow that I want to replace the blades in and this video was extremely helpful in figuring out how it comes apart.
Great content. Excellent work. My only comments regard video technical issues you're already aware of. The voice over being drowned out by the hammer and the camera slipping sideways makes the viewer feel like they're falling over. However, your content and tonal quality of your voice are strong enough to keep the viewer watching. Great job.
GOOD VIDEO. I JUST STARTED FOLDING KNIFE REPAIR,AND IT HAS BEEN A LEARNING CURVE.SHOW ME MORE.

Excellent job on this tutorial!
Just bought a load of knives from Queen Steel in Titusville Pa at their bankruptcy auction.Some are in need of repairs like this.Must have been thousands of unfinished and "seconds" knives there along with box loads of unused parts and machinery. Sad to see them go OOB..
Really informative. Thanks!
Excellent video.
Outstanding..
Thanks Tim.
great video................Thanks
Thank you for a Great video!
Awesome job.
craftsmanship.....respect...
Great videos ! I would really love it if you did a video on the use of your stiddy . Different techniques and uses .
Thank you very much.Enjoyed your video.Really informative.Ron.
Awesome tutorial. Could you make a video on the tools you use?
Nice job
very NICE!!!
Great job! Glad I don't have any tools! LOL
fascinating!
Cool vid, man. So many good tips and lessons in there about working with metals and small tools and fitting and polishing. Excellent. Where did you get your knife anvil?
Great video. Have a question about my Barlow Sabre Brand #601. I used it to pry off a metal top and it started coming apart. Can I take a peen hammer and round off the metal studs to get a tighter fitting Blade or should I do something more?
where do you get the small anvil on your workbench. great video
Thanks for sharing! And Sir, just curious where did you purchased that small anvil for knives?
I seen a re-handle job you did on a GEC #73L in Mastadon, do you have a vid of it? Kris,.
Thanks for the video....Do you think your drill press could be slowed down to give you better cutting?
Good as new. I have a folding knife with a broken back spring. I would like to fix it but have no idea where to get another spring. Do you know any sources?
NICE JOB, WORK OF ART, I'M WONDER IF U CAN FIX FANTASY SWORDS, CONVERT THEM TO A FULL TANG!!!
Hi
Do you have a instructional video on how to refinish a blade to look like a factory blade finish. I have often wondered how to get rid of old sharpening scratches and make the blade look like it did when it was new. Especially Schrade blades. My second question has to do with picking the right diameter pin for repairs and the accompanying drill bit. Does the drill bit need to be just a bit smaller than the actual replacement pin. lastly I want to know more about the Stiddy your using.
I have an old timer schrade USA 1940 t. Blade is worn out can you replace replace it if so approx how much and send shipping address.alsio have an old knife looks like a case stockman the 2short blades are broken off I,d like to have them replaced. It's not a case or even a name brand but has the brass liner and I think I.d like it fixed too just as keep sake.. Don,t know how long though I,m 80 years old..thank you Jay
Where do you get thr bolster pins?
nice job, i have a full size swiss army knife, and it over 70 years old, and has fallen apart, any suggestions
Ya can you do a video on a case pocket folding Hunter. I have one and I need to put scales on it and I have to take apart the hole knife and reasembel. And I can not find any video of some one fixing one . Thanks great video. God bless. From Glenn CATT in Massachusetts.
what cutters did you use in the beginning?
what did you cut off at 3:14? It was off camera?
Where can one buy a small anvil you used as well as the block you used to tap the pins out?
Now thats a rea restoration
What do you use to cut the pins? Thanks.
Hey guys, Ron didn't want to fill in the key hole with solder...and I understand...a bit of unnecessary work. But could we fill that "extra" space with JB weld or some other epoxy...as a simple, just in case repair, sort of quick and dirty fix-up?
I love watching a professional at work on these types of projects, as my Dad was a tool & die maker and was a bit of a perfectionist...a little bit of which carried over to me.
Great video. I want to start playing with knives, turning trappers into single blades, etc. How do you break a knife apart if the knife doesn't have blade play. I know, don't touch it if it's not broke. Any in put is helpful though. Thanks.
+Brandon Nelson a carpet knife blade works fine
Nice. I have an old schrade with a missing bolster and a damaged little blade that flops around just like this one. How hard is it to replace a bolster?
willwood487 It's not easy because they were hollowed out for the swinden rivet head. If you drill it for through pins that makes it a little easier
I have a USA made Schrade+ 70T with broken back pin - I wonder if you offer repair service?
FYI - website doesn't have any content.
thanks, I’m just getting into repair as a hobby and this was very helpful. that cable cutter, what brand is it?
Question about the pin material you use. I've been using brass; when trying to drive it in with a hammer (I always put a taper on the leading part of the pin) the pin usually bends. I remove it and start all over again. Should I be using a steel pin material?
Bryan OShaughnessy sounds like you need a shorter pin and/or the pin to hole fit is too tight.
Where did you get the shearing knife?
Not as of yet, I do plan on doing one. My E.C simmons restoration video covers some blade cleaning though. Drill and pin need to be the same size, sometimes the pin will need to be a couple thousandths undersize for the knife to function properly depending on the design. The stiddy I use was made by a good friend, I can put you in contact with him if you shoot me an email.
muskratmanknives1 can you put a blade back in a case ×× 6254 large trapper knife. The main blade is broken
Thank You muskrat man. I am going to begin trying some repair, i hv alot guys who have older knives and would like to get them fixed.
May i get a short list of your tools ideas where to get the little anvil you have etc.
Also in my interim of learning.
If you send me your address per my email i will get you some business.
Also are the pins brass or steel?
excellent craftsmanship liked your tools and drill press where did you get that nice anvil ?
do you repair knives for other people?
What kind of gauge is that? Where can I get one? Thanks.
whats the pins made out of?
Thanks for the Video. Today I replaced a broken back spring on a Imperial Boy Scout Knife with Shield from a donor Imperial Camp King Knife. I used a scraper knife to shear the pins and I used Stainless Pin stock for the pivot pins. I made a rocker pin from 1/8 in brazing rod. The Knife went back together very well. I used a nail set punch to roll the rocker pin. The only thing I would do different would be to used Nickle Silver pin stock as the stainless was very hard.
Where did you get that AWESOME cutlers stay?!
