old knife new life
KHalverson:
a friend of mine dropped off this old knife and wondered if I could fix it up.
it was in pretty rough shape .
covered in rust and the handle was popping off.
JW_Halverson:
You have our attention, please continue!
KHalverson:
I removed the old handle.
gave the knife about a 5 hour soak in white vinegar to remove the rust.
after the soak I rub out the blade using tooth paste and ultra fine steel wool.
KHalverson:
here the blade is cleaned up.
quite a difference in before and after.
next I lightly spray the blade with ballistol to keep it from starting to rust and then I tape it off.
bubby:
Nice patina...... Now
