Old Marlin Spike Knife Restoration. Beautiful blue Micarta scales

Old sailor's knife or Marlin Spike Knife Restoration. I found this rusty sailor's pocket knife at an antique store. The knife was very rusty. I decided to restore it. I think the knife was made in the 1950s-1960s. I love special knives. I removed the rust and polished the blades. I made new blue micarta scales. I hope you enjoyed my restoration video.

Absolutely brilliant, I've never seen anyone make their own micarta

I had a similar knife that I bought new in the mid to late 1970's. It didn't have any plastic but was all steel. After I came ashore I continued to use it until it disappeared (a visitor I think). Wonderful to see the insides though, to see how it all fitted together. And when I think of all the coca cola we wasted soaking things to lift rust, when we could have used vinegar and bicarb! If only we had known. Thank you so much for showing such loving care for a 'simple' precision instrument. By the way, I can still splice a rope and a marlin spike is also useful to plant seedling in the garden.

I am blown away by this. Unbelievable restoration

Easy 10 of 10. You guys that do this work are an inspiration. I restored an old kitchen knife once, and it is so rewarding to use the knife almost every day, when it easily could have been nothing but scrap

WOW, I had no clue how many pieces/parts that went into building a spike knife. Great restoration.

Brilliant!
The spike came out stunningly, and the micarta scales were an upgrade, no question.
The blade is good enought to bite you as a "thank you"; you must have done something right.
Very interesting to watch, you make it seem easy.
Cheers!

On a scale from 1 to 10, I give your work here 9 as I think the blades in the knife should have been top sharp cutting!
Thank you ! Stay safe ! ❤
