  • Antique 17th century pocket knife and coins restoration. A rusty pocket knife and old coins were found in the same place. Coins of 1664. Therefore, we can conclude that the pocket knife is also from 1664. The knife was very rusty. I decided to restore the knife and coins. I removed the rust and cleaned the coins. I hope you liked my restoration.

    This knife is not that old. 100% sure. The slipjoint didn’t become popular until the late 18th century. Before that it was mostly friction folding knives, but fixed blades were much more common.
    Just because it is found with some old coins doesn’t mean it’s from the same time.

      I totally agree with you Lorbera ! Slijoints did not exist in the 17th century.

      Slipjoints were invented in 1660 maybe not incredibly common until later but it's not out of the realm of possibility

    I think, you are using the coins to make the pocket knife to look older, than it is ! You did it once before, this is the second time and what happens two times, gives already a pattern!

    Cool, however if the coins were rare, you completely devalued them. Never, never clean / restore coins. You can take a coin worth thousands and reduce the value to zero. Always consult a numismatist before doing anything to coins. Otherwise fun to watch. 😊👍

    A basic scrubbing with mild soap and a good electrolysis bath will do the same as major museums do. When people break out the wire brush first I get worried.

    Cleaning old coins with a wirebrush. Jesus. That almost makes me cry. Just use citric acid in high concentrations for a few minutes and then neutralize in a baking soda solution. Clean with a soft toothbrush. If they are silver you can leave them as long as you like. If they are copper, half a minute max or they will turn red. .

O aspecto bem envelhecido, com as marcas da idade e brilhando com o fulgor e a beleza do ouro deverá ficar muito interessante. Grande abraço! < Brazil >
