A very empathetic restoration. The finished product looked both vintage and functional.
Thanks Michael! Cleaning up old pocket knives is fun!
“Scraping out somebody’s pocket lint is always a little gross”lol. So true.
This is sane and sensible restoration for folks like me who have no space for extensive tool collections, or garages and sheds to house them. I live in a small flat, and I don't have the spare money for fantasy fixing, especially now after Brexit, Covid and an unempathetic idiot in Russia who causes a part of Europe and his own long-suffering people to require a restoration...

Thanks for subscribing Mark! Cleaning up old pocket knives is fun!
Any saved old knife is always a good project. Thumbs Up!
Thanks Gary! I agree!
Wow ! An excellent restoration of an old classic. Good idea with covering the blades before sharpening.
Thanks! Cleaning up old pocket knives is fun!
Very happy to see you restore this piece of American history that could've been easily lost to a landfill like the others of it's kind. My favorite part of this knife is that darn cool match striker. Freakin love it. For fun, I'll strike those on my pants zipper as a joke but to have that option on my Uncle Henry would be sweet. Good job on this one.
Thanks for watching! I went to a couple local shops looking for strike anywhere matches to try but couldn't find any!
nice work, mate. it is wonderful see how this ancients tools recover their souls.
Thanks!
Like the thumb nail adjustment you made, looked like it worked well. Thanks for the video sir.
Thanks Terry!
Great job love the fact that you did almost 88% of it by hand I love to see old pocket knives that most people would just throw out but people that actually take them and restore them
I find the hand sanding to be relaxing. Vintage pocket knives with carbon steel blades are great to collect and clean up!
@@357magdad agreed LOL 50 Cent you can't beat that
Very nicely done.
Thanks Ben!
Nothing like an old pocket knife! Happy Fathers Day!
Thanks Tony! I thought it would be a good Father's Day upload!
What a transformation! You had quite the productive week restoring two vintage knives!
Thanks Alex!
Another great restoration. You provide a great step by step narrative which makes it very enjoyable to watch. 👍👍
Thanks Frank! I try to make videos I would like to watch!
Excellent, thanks for the video!!!!!!
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Whenever I watch your videos, I know I will have a good time! Very interesting to follow!
Thanks Ronald! Chuck and I have fun in the shop!
you prolly dont care but does anyone know a method to log back into an Instagram account..?
I was dumb forgot my password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me.
@Colton Nelson instablaster ;)
@Camdyn Zaid thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now.
I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
@Camdyn Zaid It worked and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thank you so much, you saved my ass!
Thanks for the step-by-step explanation of your restoration! My grandpa recently passed away and I discovered a bunch of his old pocket knives. They're pretty rusty, but with help from videos like this I should be able to make them look a lot better!
Thanks for watching! I'm glad you found my video helpful! Cleaning up old pocket knives is fun! Check out my pocket knife playlist:

Another Amazing Video
Thanks! Cleaning up old pocket knives is fun!
Certainly did enjoy the video and the relaxed hillbilly music. 😂. The brushes on my Dremel wore out the other day and I nearly fell over when I found out replacements were $20-$25 AUD so I made my own from some spare drill brushes. A quick and easy job. What a rip-off.
Love your videos, cheers Stuart 🇦🇺
Thanks Stuart! My Dremel is 20+ years old! When it finally dies I don't know if I'll get another Dremel or go for one of the cheap off brands available.
357magdad, I’m with you on that one. I’ll be trying a knockoff brand as well when mine dies. Stay safe my friend. 🇦🇺
Great Restoration as always!!
My Grandpap had 2 or 3 knives like this one, & I got one of them, (and also, 2 or 3 cheaper model ones), from one of his tool boxes, about 6 or 9 mos. after he passed, (which was 2 months after my Grandma passed as well), and we were sadly having to clear out their home for resale, & dividing their belongings.
I never got to restore that knife, but I DID HAVE to give it a good, thorough, cleaning though, as my "Pap" never was one who cared much about cleaning his tools after using them; and thus, that knife was PRETTY GRIMEY! LOL!!!
As I recall, that cleaning alone, (plus a light buffing of the blades, w/water sanding paper), made it look almost like a new knife!!! 😊
I can't recall exactly what happened to those knives, but I think they were all in a hand toolbox, (which was the first, of my few, own personal restorations), and which was unfotunately, stolen from me, a short time afterward!! (Circa 1993/1994).
I've gotta tell you, that the "Hunting Knife" you showed at 7:06, really took my attention, as my Dad has one just like it!!
My Mother's Aunt gave it to him around the time I was born, (1966). It had belonged to her late 1st husband, who passed shortly before that, in March 1965.
As I recall, the segmented, Leather handle of Dad's knife, began to disintegrate and fall apart, many years ago; and he has it wrapped in either Black, Electrical Tape; or "High Temp" tape.
Btw; can the proper, "O.E." material(s) still be found, to properly restore that handle??
Again, Very Nice Work!! & I Look Forward To Your Reply! 🙂
Ron
Abilene, TX.
I think there are kits available for some stacked leather handles.
Those knives look great Magdad! Once again your attention to detail shines through. Nice work brother. That 50 cent pocket knife is priceless now.
Thanks Ivan! Chuck and I are gonna work on a pocket knife in next week's episode!
I have to hand it to you. You are a good craftsman I myself have many hobbies, including restoring, antique tools knives et cetera I was an aircraft mechanic now I’m retired and just trying to keep busy in my 70 years. I can tell when somebody is a professional Craftman keep up the good videos. Thank you
It came out very good , I never pass up an old ‘quality’ knife
Thanks Randy! Cleaning up old pocket knives is fun!
I'm 3yrs late to the party. Please keep restoring vintage pocket knives, I have the exact Pal Cutlery model like this video I'm about to start on.
Cleaning up old pocket knives is fun! I'm working on one right now - stay tuned!
Looking forward to it. Keep up the good content.
Great job cleaning that old knife. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching Andrew! Cleaning up old pocket knives is fun!
I love those old knives, but my EDC has to have a pocket clip. Outstanding. Cheers
Thanks Joe! I bet there's a drawer or two full of old pocket knives in your grandfather's shop!
I've got one right now it came from my kids great great grandpa this is exactly the kind of restore I need to do with it thanks for the going through it like you did it helped me out a lot bless you
I'm glad my video helped Mike! Cleaning up old pocket knives is fun! I'd like to see photos of your project! 357mdad@gmail.com
@@357magdad just soaked it in mineral oil so far lot of the black stuff came off of the blade but a like what you do with the steel wool and a WD-40 I think that'll help a lot now I got to do is find the time to finish it
Knife was in better shape than yours got sentimental value not going to have to take it apart just got to do a little touch up with some sandpaper on the handle
50 cents, what a bargain. I was worried after a few minutes that we had not seen the Flitz then phew it arrived. Lovely, Jubbly job.
Thanks Tony! That vendor always has good stuff in his dollar bins!
I certainly enjoyed the video. You brought it back to life.
Thanks for watching! Cleaning up old pocket knives is fun!
@@357magdad I know it is! I got a tube of FLITZ and I can't believe how great a job it does. I have used it on several of my knifes and I'm really happy with the results.
@@MrMultitool I'm glad you are having success with Flitz!
Wow, this came out amazing! Great idea with the steel wool inside the grooves with WD40
Thanks Joe! Sometimes I use steel wool and sometimes I use scotch brite.
Awesome job! If that knife could talk!!!! =D
Thanks ScoutCrafter! This knife spent some time being carried and used before it was left to rust.
Very nice restore of the knifes.
Thanks Randy!
7:08 that is a PAL RH 36 red spacer variant the Rarest of the 36 models.
I wouldn't mind finding one of those at a garage sale for a dollar!
Nice job and description! Thanks
Thanks Larry!
Very nice job. Just when I was thinking, boy it would have been nice if you told us what the mark was... Then you gave us all the details. I should be more patient. Thanks for the father's day gift! (The video of course.). 😁
Thanks James! That maker's mark was tough to read! I had to do some research to figure it out!
Really an awesome job on the old knives. What a deal too! I have to admit, I love your pocket knife restore videos. Happy Father's day pal!
Thanks Todd! Happy Father's Day to you!
Wow very nice. Love old pocket knives
Thanks Rick! I love 'em too!
Amazing job on that one! I love this type of knives.
Thanks Dino! Old pocket knives are great!
It polished up really well. The steel wool and popsicle stick to get inside those groves was a great idea, and the mothers back to black made those handles shine again. For .50 cents I think it was worth it🤣. Also as a side note I found the match striker on the knife to be very interesting. Great work as always!
Thanks! I wanted to try the match striker, but I couldn't find any strike anywhere matches locally.
Great job on both of the knives. Now that you have shown the way I'm sure I will attempt a knife restoration.
Thanks John! Old pocket knives are fun to clean up. You can really get a sharp edge on the old carbon steel blades!
I love your restorations and the history lessons. Good work once again!
I'm not sure which part of the hobby I enjoy the most - hunting for old stuff at the sales, cleaning up what I find or researching the history of the makers!
@@357magdad it's kind of a package deal. 😊👍
Great job.
Thanks! Cleaning up old pocket knives is fun!
I have a Queen Cut Muskrat I need to replace a blade. I have been looking for replacement blades, not much luck. I'm really scared I'll ruin it.
That would make a very cool Father's Day gift for anyone!
A pocket knife is a classic Father's Day gift!
Superb video and a superb restoration. Very nice. Thank you.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
She turned out Beautiful!!!! glad Chuck is wondering around your work shed exploring, wonder what treasures he will find in there that you can both restore.
Thanks! I hope Chuck doesn't get into any trouble!
You did a Great job on this one for only using hand tools ..I used some back to black on tires it did Ok
Thanks! I prefer to sand the blades by hand. My 1 x 30 belt sander takes material off quicker, but can't put it back on!
I really like your vids and have subscribed. Here's a friendly vid suggestion: Show us how you can tell a pocket knife that's worth restoring, versus one that is just too far gone and should be discarded. Thanks!
Thank you for subscribing! And thanks for the suggestion!
Turned out well!
Thanks John!
Nice job! I just picked up a very nice KC Seelbach pocket knife (Germany) that looks absolutely unused but spent its life in the back of a toolbox! A good cleaning and surface rust removal and it will be great!
Thanks for watching Matt! Cleaning up old pocket knives is fun!
@@357magdad Fully agree! I am absolutely stocked about finding that Seelbach knife. It is soaking in Evapo-Rust right now.
I just came across an old similar knife in my tool box that needs a similar resto. Now I learned some tricks!
Thanks Tom! Old pocket knives are fun to clean up!
How about that-
You bought an old PAL.
It looked pretty crusty
Like Chuck’s old Gal.
WD and steel wool
Sure cleaned up the rust.
The Dremel and ScotchBrite
On this was a must.
Chuck called for the Flitz.
It made that knife shine.
I really must say,
“That looks mighty fine.”
From the back porch shade in Wampler, TX, thanks for the fun.🤠
I'll have to read this one to Chuck! LOL Thanks Mark!
I have this same knife, bought it in unused condition at a thrift shop, didn't get nearly the deal you got on yours though. One of my favorite little jack knives.
It is a nice little knife!
I like all my old pocket folders learned a few on how to restore them
Thanks Larry! Vintage pocket knives with carbon steel blades are great to collect and clean up!
Wow! Very nice edit.
Thanks!
You can use an old time double edged safety razor blade sold at the dollar stores to literaly shave rust off without removing patina. Use a little oil.
Thanks for watching David! I'm not a fan of "patina".
@@357magdad That's cool to each his own but if your going to sell it to a knife collector most prefer patina.
Very nice. Always like all your videos but your knife ones I have been really enjoying. I have a couple laying around here. I might get the nerve to try. Stay safe and healthy my friend. Thanks
Thanks Glen! I find cleaning up old pocket knives to be relaxing.
Beautiful job.
Thanks! Cleaning up old pocket knives is fun! I got a Kamp King coming up soon!
@@357magdad that's awesome, I have a few Kamp King that need restoration so I'm sure your video will be educational. I appreciate it.
Good music ' Reuben' classic Earl., nice job on the Pal, i have one thats become valuable, picked it up for 5 bucks
Thanks for watching Robert! Mrs Magdad and I enjoy selecting the music!
Looking forward to the restoration video for your "trusty shaved down popsickle stick" when it has become too worn or broken 😄
Beautiful job - and oh how I miss strike anywhere matches!
That popsicle stick has helped me clean up dozens of pocket knives! I looked around locally for some strike anywhere matches, but I had no luck.
I was taught how to strike a match correctly and safely when I was a wee kid. I've never done it any other way. The elf and safety nonsense which has dissed the strike anywhere match should never ever have been involved. Safety elves do not belong in matchboxes. Proper instruction from caring parents and grandparents is what belongs in matchboxes.
$50 cents! That turned out awesome! The second knife, I thought you put new scales on. Very nice!?
Thanks Aaron! Those scales on the Hammer brand were rough! I felt like I was banging dents out of an old fender!
I definitely want to try it watched a few after yours guy I work with got me into collecting
Cleaning up old pocket knives is fun. The carbon steel blades on the vintage knives are a pleasure to sharpen!
You really do great work!
Thank you! I enjoy cleaning up old knives and tools!
Cool
Cleaning up old pocket knives is fun!
Nice restoration,,,,,
Thanks Boris!
Sweet lil Jack knife there:]...You gave it just the right touch.... 1 buck wow!! well I guess were on the same page ...I'm uploading a Knife Clean up vid right now :]
Thanks D&R! I'll have to check it out!
I picked up my smith's sharpen tri hone. At Lowe’s 3 years ago.
I've had good luck with my Tri-Hone!
@@357magdad ide forgot to mention my grandpa had a whole shoebox full of PAL knives I have no idea what happened to it he past away March 3 1994 he was a interesting character to say the least
Excellent
Thank you!
Excellent job on a forsaken knife. However your music choice made me kinda anxious! ...Newk from Kentucky
Thanks Newk! Mrs Magdad is also not a big fan of my music taste!
nice job once again magdad - Flitz polishes plastic too - was wondering why you didn't use it?
Thanks! I haven't had great luck with Flitz on plastic.
Good job you know l always like a penknife video 👍🌝
Thanks Sparky! Cleaning up old knives is fun!
Amazing result, as usual. Were the scales originally black, or brown?
Thanks David! The scales are black. The Back to Black doesn't add color -it's just heavy duty Armor All.
@@357magdad Ah. They looked brown in the "before" photos. Also this knife looks a lot like my son's BSA knife, from the mid 2000s.
Great tips. I would only perform this on a beloved knife. No reason for any others.
Thanks! Cleaning up old pocket knives is fun! I find it to be very relaxing.
Brillant! Do you ever take on other people's knives for extra cash?
Thanks for watching! I do not do restorations for money.
Because both springs are shot I feel like this is a bust. Maybe do that next?
Thanks for watching! Total disassembly is beyond my skill level.
@@357magdad well, nice job!
Another great restoration! Thank you!
I hate to point this out but did you consider that the pocket lint was to be used for tender for emergency fire starter😄...
Thanks B Kind! I keep my fire stater lint in my belly button!
@@357magdad
The pocket knife lint storage must be for people with outy belly buttons 😁...
@@bkind2182 That's it! LOL
i have pretty much the same thing but brown wood
This is the only PAL pocket knife I've come across so far.
What holds the removable scales on that knife shown at the end?
There's little clips at each end that hold the "hhubcap" scales on. I show this construction in detail in my Imperial Barlow video.

Hi, anybody know what I should look for to replace "Mom's back to black" outside the USA? Thanks :)
Where are your flea markets? I can never find pocketknives that cheap, no matter the condition.
I've had good luck at the gas and steam engine show flea markets.
Hey what can I use as an alternative to the back to black
Armor All would probably work.
@@357magdad Ok I'll check it out, thank you
👍👍🤠🤠🎯🎯
I remember as a kid having a knife like this,nower days you go to jail for carrying something like that...
Times sure have changed James!
I have the same knife
How much to do an old John Trimble I got in decent shape
Thanks for watching Josh! I don't do paid restoration work. My hope is that viewers like you will see what I do and want to give it a try. Cleaning up old pocket knives is fun!
I never knew about them being match strikers i always used my thumb nail
I looked around locally for some strike anywhere matches to give it a try, but couldn't find any.
@@357magdad i know that pain my boxes always get ruined before i use the matches up so strike anywhere are way more preferable
You probably could of got some good money from ALF for that lint.
LOL!
He could have traded it for some of the Platinum plumbing in ALF's ship!
At some point, I need to do a pen knife 😄👍🏻
Pocket knives are fun to clean up! I think there is something in our genetics from cave man times that makes us want to sharpen things!
Do you repair schrade pocket knives. Schrade no longer does and their sole repair tech referral isn’t taking new work
I do not do repair work. Check out muskratmanknives.com
@@357magdad that’s who schrade referred me to. He isn’t taking any new work.
@@theleatherjourney OK Thanks for letting me know.
You know, when I was kid, I had to drag 7 trash cans every week down the 50 yard driveway. Sometimes I would forget or not wake up early enough and the next week would come and the trash would have been sitting for two weeks before it made it to the curb. By that time, the trash would be covered in maggots and trash water from rain. The smell was so bad, that I grew immune to gagging.
Other people’s old pocket lint doesn’t bother me much.
I bet you had to drag the trash cans uphill both ways too!😁
