Rusty Old Pocket Knife Restoration

I just picked up an old, rusty, vintage pocket knife. In this video I'll clean it up and sharpen it. Nothing beats a vintage pocket knife!!! With a little oil, some paper towel, some sand paper and elbow grease, we'll put it back into use!

When I was a kid, my grandmother, who had a lot of grandsons, thought every boy ought to own and know how to use a pocket knife. While helping her on the farm, I needed my pocket knife numerous times daily. I’m now 67 years old and still always carry a good pocket knife. She usually wound up buying Hammer Brand knives on her trips to town because they were affordable and good quality, I still have one now. Thanks, Dave, you made me smile.

It turned out well. I like those old pocket knives. They remind me of my grandfather.

I just came across a old box full of antique BOKERS, OLD TIMERS and CASE pocket knives at a yard sale a few weeks ago .. All different styles and sizes, 15 in total for $5.00.. They were a little rusty but I got em cleaned up real nice and hair popping sharp.. May GOD Bless you and your wife🙏

I have an old Sabre pocket knife that I did a restore on. My favorite knife for cleaning trout and squirrels. It was made in this place called USA. Thanks for the visit. It was fun and interesting as always.

I absolutely enjoy buying old knives and bringing them back to life. I sometimes think they are telling me stories of where they have been and what they've done, some even before I was born.

That was enjoyable to see you bring that knife back to usefulness and life. You called it an "antique" but it's only vintage. "Antique" has to be 100 years old by normal definition. Now, you got me in the mood to go find a vintage knife and restore it!

Old pocket knives have feelings. They get extra happy when they are brought back to life and get to be useful again 😊👍

Try prep n’ etch at Home Depot. It’s phosphoric acid and will clean that up easily with less sanding. Use an old tooth brush you will be amazed. I just cleaned up a WWII navy rope knife. Looks awesome and kept the patina. Used my work sharp with a strop, it slices phone book pages like a hot knife through butter. Next, oil like you do. Please try, you will love the method. Rinse well with hot water and then use WD40 to disperse water, as it was designed to. Have tools restored that are 100 years old from my great grandfather. They don’t make tools nearly as well as they did back then. Love your channel!

I remembered that I have my dads old pocket knife and it is in desperate need of cleaning, can't wait to clean it up and give it to my son. Thanks for the lesson.

We're on the same page here, Dave.
I love cleaning up old things and putting them back into service.
A great little afternoon project.
And, I could smell that PB Blaster all the way over here on the shore of lake Ontario!
