Bowie Knife Restoration

- This bowie knife was made by my friends grandfather in 1960's. He asked me to bring it to original condition. Well the work is done, maybe this is not it initial condition, but I've done my best.

I gotta give you an A+ on this job. You made an old knife and leather gear feel wanted again and not to mention, desirable. I'd wear that belt and knife any time. Your bud's grampa is going to love it. You do good work man and your video is excelent. Thank you.
Wow. Loved how you kept the belt, loop and sheath true to their age... kept that valuable “patina”! Awesome.
Quick "me, too" on the leather. Not just a savey repair on the seam, but also a great job on enhancing the coloring!!
Thinking same thing. Nice job.
Nicely done, sir. The repair of the knife was great in itself but to then repair the sheath and clean and polish it all was an added treat. Nicely done.
Beautiful knife, I bet it's great to have a friend like you fantastic finish!
Realy nice restoration of a knife and holsterbelt. I glad to see you saving the belt and sheath because they have a beautiful patina. One backdro. The holster lacks a securitystrap for the knife to protect it from getting lost.. Well done
Incrível que ficou Koss ☝👍👏👏 parabéns
Excellent restore, sir! That knife looks like it could be used in Esgrima Criolla, the fighting system of the Gauchos of Argentina. Also love how you restored the belt and sheath. Beautiful!
Argentinian gauchos, if they still exist, use a very different kind of knife, known as facon or faca which is more likely a dagger.
Knife and leatherwork both turned out hella dope Koss!
Ive been a sub for about a month and highly respect your work. Keep it up man
I love that you reused the pieces of the old handle, and the antler spacer was masterful!
You and I know, but for those who don't, cutting and polishing antler, horn, or bone must be done while wearing a mask, if you value your lungs. Even 5 minutes of it without a mask will make your lungs and throat hurt for a couple of days
It was a nice looking knife at first but, now it’s outstanding
Trabalho perfeito. Parabéns.
Hello man, I watch your videos from Argentina 🇦🇷
Great work, a lot of polishing. Vry good y didn't replace the old leather, as the older its gets, the nicer it is.
Beautiful job!!
show us the knife sharpener, looks interesting :)
awesome work as always brother
It's amazing! Good job!
Great video! As always!
Прекрасная работа! Спасибо за видео.
수고하셨습니다 나도 가지고 싶을 만큼 멋진 칼입니다. 참 잘 만드셨읍니다
That turned out perfect 👌
Молодець, гарна робота.

Love the vids bro..you do great work..thanks
Perfect job 👍
Podoba mi dbałość o precyzję odnawiania części tnącej 👌
чувствуется за курёху, да за чай в своё время этот "боуи" делали...)))
Особенно понравилась очаровательная зазубрина при заточке ))) "Боуи" с такой толщиной обуха, конечно, дров нарубит

Very nicely done sir!
Amazing work 👍
Great video in summary but would recommend tuning the volumes by a little higher

Nice job!
Shiny and sharp, what more can you want!
Beautiful work, both knife and leather, my complements...you have turned an "ugly duckling" into a "swan"...May I suggest a "security strap" of some type with a snap, perhaps, be added somehow to secure the knife to the sheath? With care, this knife and its belt and sheath, will be around for a long, long time... the grandson must be highly chuffed with the result...a very good way to preserve grandpa's memory...Good job!
Most excellent. Cheers.
Awesome jobs
Good work!
Amazing!!!!🖤
excellent job!
Great restoration video. Your skills are amazing and keep the videos coming! What do you use for your initial rust removal bath?
Great Job! The Sheaf looks better Black.
Ottimo lavoro. Bravo. Veramente.
Really nice job on the metalwork for this knife. Also on the sheath and belt. Nice trick on replacing the threaded section and on the pipe that holds the blade with wood while you sanded the handle. I would have considered making a new guard and replacing the entire handle with antler. Knife appears to be South American in origin. Any clue as to who was the original maker?
Never thought of welding a bolt on the tang... makes a really nice adhesive surface for the glue.
I was wondering if he chose a bolt matching threading in the pommel, and whether he chose a bolt of special quality steel for that.
muito lindo o trabalho
Cool restore; one guy said best way to test sharpness is if the blade shaves every single hair if you do a small pass on your arm. If it leaves a few hairs it can still be sharpened more. Beautiful job.
No need for a Bowie to be that sharp. Also the edge would hold as good cause it gets very thin
Молодец!!! Очень крутой мастер 👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥
Very nice!! Can You Possibly Make a Video About Your Knife Sharpener
You the best.✌
Holy furkin shit from a rust bucket to a gold mine awesome job on knife and belt u r a skilled man thanks for the video amazing job thank you 👍👍👌👍👍👌👌👍👍👌👌
Зачётный процесс....!!!
nicely done

портупея наша, реставрация неплохая, лайк!
That looks like an old WW2 Sam Brown belt, a collectors item in itself!
Аккуратная хорошая работа 👍💪
Nice one mate
Very Fine Indeed
La tarea de los restauradores tiene tanto mérito y es por volver a.la vida útil a objetos dados por perdidos 😀😍😀😀
Now that's a knife!
amazing
Awesome
good job
I would love to do this for a living
Nice👍👍👍
Awesome! With one caveat- I would have left some stag bark. Otherwise masterful restoration!
Leaving the stag bark on the handle would have made a beautiful touch of contrast to the rest of the handle and blade, a bit of character if you know what I mean, a detail that would take the entire piece to a higher level.

It's not restoration as such since my point of view it's a highly qualified repair
That saddle stitch will last much longer than the original machine stitching.
I am curious about the chemicals, stains and polishes you used. Great results on the knife & its sheath!
Esse produto em q vc mergulhou a faca serve pra tirar a ferrugem?
Красавец и нож краса
Great restore, do you ever sell the items? If so I’m quite interested in purchasing this knife.
Where do you find your pieces to work on?
this knife is not a bowie, is a ka-bar excelente job!

Hey bro, I really like the sharpening jig you got! Can you send me the measurements of it and design?
Молодец.
Start the video at 2x speed and you will enjoy it more.
Lol, I do that with all restoration vids
I like work
I just wanted to let you know (although I'm a little late to this video) that I've been meaning to catch a video right after it gets uploaded to say that it would be awesome to sell your work - not only would you get revenue off of the video and show off your blade making/fixing skills, you'd also have a great video to show to any potential buyers the work you put in.
I see from the video description that you've opened an Etsy shop, and I really like that. If that black/gold scalpel knife is still around, I will gladly throw my money at you for it, because it's beautiful and I have neither the tools nor the capabilities to create it myself.
Your craftsmanship is beautiful. I aspire to work on my car the same way you put care into your artwork.
Edit: all the things I wanted have all been already bought or aren't for sale. *hurt noises*
Stones in a Lansky-type sharpener like that should stroke toward the edge, not away from it. The only device that should stroke away from the edge is the leather strop attachment.
@Hugo Adrian Wilkins Watch this entire video -- ruclips.net/video/ZlI5PaXsfOk/видео.html -- but don't stop short when you see him both pushing and pulling the stone because that is not sharpening, it's shaping. You'll see how the pulling away from the edge during shaping creates a burr of metal underneath the edge; this is what you'll remove during the actual sharpening portion of the task. So watch and listen to him when he transitions to sharpening at around 7:55. The only difference with my technique is that I only use water and never oil to flush metal from the stones. Not even a drop of oil ever touches my stones, ever (no testicle jokes, please). Also, I have created a WICKED custom sharpening kit in a fitted case with everything needed to put a mirror edge on knives. Let me know if you want me to take some pics of it. It's true knife porn.
nice work ! I`ve rebuilt several knives over the past four decades , and the only thing I would have done differently is the guard ! the original is possibly one of the ugliest guards I`ve ever seen , that would have been replaced ! but excellent work there !
we need a shop tour with equipment names lol

12:35 or so .. still a decent chip in the edge toward the tip. Did you get rid of that?
I'm sure he did......wow
Nice
Like before watching
what was the paste that you used on the sheath and belt?
Hi, New subscriber! What is the manufacturer of the sharpening jig at 12:19? Thank you!
Love your patience.
I like knife
Shat did you use for the rust remover?
Where did you get your jig ir did you make it??
What are you using to sand with?Awesome work, always a pleasure to watch your videos
He is using a belt sander
Wow
The blade doesn't seem as broad as a full bowie blade.
I'm thinking it might be a bayonet.
Either way, you did awesome mate!
It's a K-Bar style knife.
What'd you put on the edges of the leather? This turned out beautiful!
