- I bought this knife on eBay for the specific purpose of restoring it. I've never restored a knife before and thought I would give it a try. The knife was really rusted and hard to open. I found after I got into it that the metal was pitted pretty bad and since the blade is thin I would do better to leave it be. So, here it is with pitted blade and all.
Thank you for watching, I hope you liked the video.

Two Hands Restoration
Beautiful job. My dad always had a pocket knife with him and this is the one. My dad is gone but I still have his pocket knife. Thank you so much.
I enjoyed the demonstration. The cleaning and replacement of parts. I’ve worked on a couple old knives lately. Haven’t done multiple blades, only single blade. But I’m looking forward to trying these. I replaced the broken handle with pieces I made of wood.
There are makers and criticizers. Thank you for being a maker and taking the time to document your interpretation of this restoration.
Thanks for the good word. I appreciate it.
There are also those with nothing better to do! Must be desperate for a penknife!
Thanks for watching. I have a couple videos coming up pretty soon that I hope you'll watch and enjoy. You can see one of them on my instagram page: instagram.com/twohandsrestorations
gbwildlife uk and there are people with nothing better to do than watch RUclips videos and criticize guys who enjoy filming and sharing their work. Some folks still take pride in a job well done the value is not necessarily in dollars and cents.
@@gbwildlifeuk8269 In our throwaway society, it's nice to watch someone rescue an item that would have just ended up in the trash otherwise.
I use to have a knife like that years ago, not sure what became of it. It was one of the first knives I ever owned. 40ish years later it was nice to be reminded of it. Great work, keep up the content.
Great job! Glad that someone took the time to restore that knife rather than just throw it away. Appreciate you taking the time to put this video together and post it for everyone's enjoyment. Kudos!

Thank you.
I had one of those . It was a good cheap knife to have back in the fifties.
The folder resembles a Stag Ireland Camper's Multitool Knife. I saw a scrupulous approach to the restauration of a cheap item, which actually gave it a new life and made it look precious. Respect!
Hey everyone is a critic....i like ,looks great..knives are ment to be kept collected,restored,but never tossed....you saved a ill bit of history. ...great
Thanks for sharing your expertise and skill. I like how you've restored the knife but kept much of the character, rather than making it "as new."
Thank You. I prefer to retain character instead of wiping it all away to get that brand new look.
Anyone else flinch when he about gouged his hand with that screwdriver?
@Jennifer Ludvigh Ditto!
Yep
Put a chisel through my hand a couple months ago
Thought for sure we were going to see him shed blood before he completed it.
That is my favorite knife pattern, the older ones are the best, today they are almost all made in China. Good to see one so well restored and ready to provide another lifetime of service.
Thank you. It is a great little knife. I'm glad I restored it.
If you look around there's still good knife makers in America, Europe, Japan and many other places, there's many people out there who don't have a single Chinese made knife and have extensive collections.

nice restoration
Nice job, and thank you.
A good restoration. These knives were very popular in the '70's. I had one and used to sharpen it on the kerb stone. lol.
Would like to have seen how you stained the handles. Most of the video they’re whitish with some dark in the “grain” then at the end they’re all brown. Keep working and posting.
Nice work.
Had one of those as a boy, never knew what became of it.
Hay man I am Clayton I have recently done the same thing with one of my friends old knives. He just wanted it sharpened bit one of the handle scales was missing so I took it apart and made him some new ones from mackay cedar and I was really happy with how it turned out can’t wait to give it back to him and see what he thinks. Really liked the video wish you the best of health.
Thanks for the good word. I'm sure he'll appreciate your work. I have another one that needs new handles. I'll look into Mackay cedar.
nice .
Looks like a fun project, I appreciate you showing us step by step how it's done. I didn't flinch when you slightly slipped but I had raised eyebrows when I seen you using a Henkels paring knife as a prying tool. Interesting in a way chicks would never understand. I can see why you went with the original scales. Making new ones would've been a mini nightmare..good job man..
If the knife is prone to rust, then maybe some bluing or rustoleum coating on the internal metal parts? I kinda liked the white scales a little better, but the finished product was very nice. Good job!
I had one of those when I was a kid.
I really enjoyed watching this. Thanks for making it. I have my first ever dremel kit arriving tomorrow. I can't wait to get stuck into something like this. Subscribed.
Very good restoration knife 👍👍👍👏👏👏
Thank you for not adding music!
Did these come with a fork and spoon , scout version ? Because i have one thats made in ireland .
Dostum, gerçekten güzel bir restorasyon gerçekleştirdin ve orijinaline uyarak çalıştın. Tebrikler.
Thank you, again.
I have this same exact knife and it's in rough shape
Time to restore it!
I liked your video. Great restoration. Some advice: 1) Show what you used to dissolve the rust, 2) Show how you stained or painted the plastic, and 3) Speak.
Feel free to share links where you've done all those things in videos of your own. :)
I like this vídeo ! Excellent job !
Best regards !

Thank You
Recently found one like this in a thrift shop. My fater had one very similar when I was a kid, looking to clean up my thrift find before father's day.
I found an old Boy Scout knife just like this in about the same condition. I let it sit in Marvel mistery oil a few days to free it up. I’m going to try and restore it like this. Thank you.
Very cool.
Great job dude
Thank you
Great use of the Lead Master pliers
Thanks. I've always wondered what they were called.
Good job: nice to see an old knife restored
Thank You
Very 👍🏼

Thank you for watching.
Subscribing will make you happier!
Two Hands Restorations I’ve been a subscriber for a while with the bell rung. But reading your comment still made me smile, so it must be true!
Very cool. Thanks for showing this to us.
Best pocket knife restoration EVER! And I’ve watched many of them. Thank you. I’ll put it to use today. Subscribed!
Thared class restoration
Отличная работа ,мастер!!!
Cool I actually have the same knife except handle color is different and it’s about the same condition! Thanks!
Fantastic Job brother!!!!
très belle restauration !!
I like your style two hands. Thanks for the vid.
Thank You. I appreciate that.
Well done sir
Well done!
What do you soak the pieces in?
Cool
I’m having a hard time trying to figure out why you would use an expensive Wusthof paring knife as a pry bar on a cheap camping folder.
I wondered the same thing.
Simple, Wusthof sponsors video lol
H Mager while I totally understand your point, that’s not a wusthof that’s a Henckels, and it appears to be the lower budget henckels at that. However, he should still find a different tool to use as a prybar on cheap pocket knives haha.
Interesting views.
David Coiner my mistake. my wusthuf looks almost exactly that.. I should stopped the video and examined the blade closer!
It was like watching paint dry, I thought I was on pause a few times. The next time a camper tries to take it apart, he'll have some job with all that superglue!! In all fairness,an excellent job,thank you.
It appears to be epoxy rather than super glue.
great job , thank you for sharing it
Great work!! ...very inspiring ..TY:]
Thank you so much.
Cool
BSA knife?
Working on a 2 blade Imperial similar to this...got it all apart and clean, working on new deer antler handle now
nice job
Nice 👍
Beautiful.
The ring through one of the bolsters, does it have a name? Other than ring through the bolster
What...not a spot of oil for the pivots. Sharpen the blade?
In general, tools can have great longevity. However, to ensure the useful life of these items, maintenance measures are necessary in addition to knowing how to remove rust from tools. These measures include cleaning and, in some cases, the application of industrial protection, periodically (every six months, for example). In this case, it is a temporary protection, since the lubricating fluid can be removed with degreaser.
Another common method of protecting tools against corrosion and oxidation is the application of coatings, such as zinc-rich paints or epoxy layers. In this case, definitive protection occurs. In any situation, it is important to keep the parts clean. For this, some types of degreasers can be used.
It is essential that the parts are stored in an organized manner in a dry place, at room temperature. This helps to avoid moisture and prevents oxidation.
When you pine ove the pivot point you will find it will help if you put a .005 shim in between the layers on shim per tool. It will stop the point from getting too tight. Modify the amount of shims over two tools. basically 2 shims max.
Thank you for showing how the various parts are fitted together. I have a bunch of these knives in similar condition, and was afraid to clean them up... until now. Some observations: Did you use aluminum nails for the pins? It looks like these nails/pins were a wee bit small for the existing holes in the various blades and spacers. The pivot pins must have been too tight to allow smooth opening and closing of the blades. You achieved a fine result for what many would consider a throwaway knife. Now it is worth keeping, using, or passing it along to someone else.
I used a steel nail. thanks for the good words.
When that handles got black?
There’s some true amateur restoration job right there
At least he's done a better job than you with your criticising and nothing else. You are armchair warriors are all the same - putting down others whilst you just sit behind your anonymous keyboard and do nothing. Still, if that lets you feel good enough about your sad little life so you can sleep at night then have at it. Personally I ADMIRE this guy for bothering to take the time to do such a LOVELY resto. HE'S a doer, YOU'RE a doNOTHING.
Nice job. What rust remover do you use?
what liquid did you bathe the blades and other metal parts before rubbing them with the scotch brite ?
Metal rescue
I see why all my handles eventually fell off when I owned these knives when I was a kid.
Bravo
Love the video, I missed when you paint the scales. What did you use for those?
I used an enamel spray paint.
@@TwoHandsRestorations Many thanks!!!
Why you didn't sharp the blade? :(
Nice!
What name is liquid where you put parts of knife ?
What nails are those you are using as placement pins and then to pin everything in place ?
I don't know what size they are. They are just some wood finishing nails I had that fit the holes nicely. I figured they would work as well as anything else.
When you polished the blades did you use a polishing compound?
At 4:20, uses a Wüsthoff paring knife as a shop tool 🙄omg
Reminds me of finding a knife by the Columbia River when I was a kid. It was pretty rusty, and had wooden handles which were bowed by water exposure. A lot of years ago now, and I don't recall how rough it really was, but I wonder if it was a real antique that would have been worth restoration...
Considering this was at best a very cheaply made pocket knife, you did a nice job. I would have removed the scales and make-believe bolsters and replace them with solid brass bolsters and real wood scales. That would have made the knife worth the effort. I would have also removed the pitting on the blades as well. JMHO
Thanks for the comment. I didn't think to replace the bolsters and scales as you suggest. Now I wish I had.
What was the liquid you soaked everything in?
Solarjinx :- vinegar?
Yes. Vinegar.
He soaked it in vinegar I believe copper pennies it clean like knew
Great job! What was the liquid you soaked everything in?
cool .I'm about to restore
emodel the same
model .I have two imperial camp knives ..one is from the 70s and one is from the 50s..rivets are hard as shit as far as I can tell..I want to put real bone or wood scale with silver nickel bolsters,probably brass cuz that's what I got . I also noticed on the spacers they are brass plated ,my guess this was to inhibit rust? I thought about replating them .I just did Remington office knife in stagg.
Thank You. This one was fairly simple sounds like yours will be a challenge.
I have two antique AMERICAN MADE pocket knives ONE IS A CASE XX with 6 dots the other is a SCHRADE-WALDEN N.Y. U.S.A.225Hboth pocket knives are antique one belonged to my grandfather on my dads side the other belonged to my grandfather on my moms side of the family maybe y’all can tell me something about these all American classics
@@joeychambers1980 most likely the Case would have more monetary value, but it would depend on the condition it is in. Most antique pocket knives were sharpened pretty aggressively, I don't think people back then ever thought they would have a lot of value as collectibles. Those are both well documented brands, it shouldn't be dificult to find out whatever details you want to know. There are collector websites known as knife forums, that would be a good place to research them, and most of the collectors are good about sharing their knowledge.
What fluid are you using to soak the steel?
I use vinegar.
I dont want to be negative but this is not restoration. He made it somewhat usable. The scales shouldn't have been painted black as the original was white and brown, it was imitation stag. It was an amateur job and not a professional restoration.
wish u got rid of the plastic parts and replaced them with wood
Another person suggested the same a while back. I have some hard wood that I'll use on my next knife to do just that.
Like the black better
I’ve got some old 6” nails that need restoration I should film it
What did you soak the metal pieces in? I'm about to attempt this with my old.cub scout knife. Thanks!
That is vinegar.
Нож на викторинокс очень похож, только плашки костяные
There's a reason you're blade's are to tight and have no snap! Use proper sized brass pin stock and shim the joints before peening the pin ends! Other than that, excellent work!
Thank You. Some one posted a knife restoration book in one of the comments. I'm considering getting it and learning more about it. Thanks for the advice.
Nice job!
Thank You
Anyone else watching it with 1.5 speed?
x2 speed
I'm guessing that was an acid bath? What kind of acid?
Vinegar
It seems to be the style of all these restoration videos to have no dialog. I would much prefer some explanation to go along.
dremmel power !
Аутентичность потеряна... можно было просто в керосине вымочить и также щеткой почистить!!!
True
...или в автомобильном преобразователе ржавчины
Cant believe you would use a Heckles knife to pry with.
