Former Western employee here. I've been restoring, repairing, and working on Western knives for many years. You nailed the restoration of this knife. I like.... 😎
I'm glad you like how it turned out Robert!
I'm sure you make an old soldier proud.
Thanks Jack!
Excellent work Magdad. This truly honors a veteran and preserves a piece of history. Thanks for sharing this.
Thanks John! This knife was definitely worth the effort!
You honored that veteran that originally owned that knife. Glad that his locations were saved, what an impressive list. Beautiful work, congratulations! Happy Easter!
I agree
Thanks Larry! Happy Easter!
Its not about restoring Western G46 its the Historical Significance on where that knife has been and the great man who own it and sailing to all those Islands in WW2 and made it home safe love to know what ship he served on .... Mr Magdad that has to be one of your best Restorations to date .... Happy Easter take care see you next Sunday
I will ask Dixie, My neighbor, what ship he sailed on during the war....
@@AndyM. Hey Thanks that would be GREAT
Thanks Roger! This was definitely one of my more challenging projects!
That was just an amazing job! Being a knife collector plus a WWII buff this was especially fun to watch! GREAT JOB!
Thanks John! I bet this knife could tell some stories...
Now that's a hero's fighting knife. You did a great job.
Thanks! It was a challenging project!
Outstanding video! You did a great job. What a wonderful thing to see this piece of history live on.
Thanks Jim! It is definitely a keeper!
Great job on bringing the handle back to it's former glory!!!
Thanks Phil!
Aye yi yi!! That wasn't looking very promising at first!! You pulled if from the depths of despair, your persistent paid off!! Well done Bud!!☻
Thanks RoadKing! I got a little worried when the leather turned black, but I couldn't let my buddy Andy and R.C Tedder down!
Great job giving that great piece of history a new lease on life. The leather handle came out great 👍.
Thanks Kim! It was one of my more challenging projects!
A lot of sanding. Understatement for the year. Near the end I thought I was watching " The Right Stuff". I wonder what ship he served on. Terrific job by the way 😊.
Thanks Cory! It would be cool to learn more about R.C. Tedder.
You get a thumbs up just for the title! 😁. I will have to watch after church! 👍👍👍
I hope you enjoy the video! Happy Easter!
Wow! That was a lot of effort! It came out great, but I was not sure it was worth it until you showed us the engraving. Now we see it is a priceless piece of history that certainly deserved all your hard work! Well done!
Learning how to do something new is always worth the effort! My experience will come in handy for the next stacked leather project I tackle.
Completely amazing handle, and what a history lesson and/or time capsule!
Thanks Chris!
Holy crap, that's by far the best stacked leather handle I've ever seen. Phenomenal job!!
Thanks! It was a challenging project!
What an awesome piece of history and you brought it back to life beautifully.
Thanks Terry!
Really nice restoration. I have a collection of several WWII and Viet Nam era knives. That's a perfect item for honoring your neighbor's stepfather. I'm sure both are proud of it.
Thanks Wayne!
Anchors Aweigh and Marines Hymn--a fitting ending on Memorial Day.
Thanks Joseph! This was a challenging project!
Awesome Magdad! What a tribute! Priceless 🇺🇸
Thanks Stan! It is a cool piece of history!
I love the handle. I like the present colour better than the original, looks more like a leather colour.
Well done. Quite a labour of love for this historic knife.
Dave.
Thanks Dave! It was a challenging project! It's gonna be a while before I try another stacked leather handle!
Wow! That is an impressive handle. Glad such a historical knife brought back to all its glory! Well done!
Thanks! It was a challenging project!
Your challenge is teaching the rest of us.
My dad made a sheath knife from a file and added a leather handle. I might need to go restore it now.
Wow this was a great restoration, the knife turned out fantastic.
Thanks Bill!
It turned out great. It looks beautiful. I’m sure he’s going to be thrilled with the end result.
I AM!!!!
Thanks! I hope so!
Absolutely outstanding over the top job well done !
Thanks ScoutCrafter! This was a challenging project! I was pretty discouraged when the leather turned black. I'm glad it turned out OK! I definitely learned a lot!
A+ for effort. A+ for your craftsmanship. It’s beautiful. My father always said, how good a craftsman you are is how well you cover up your mistakes. Thank You
Thanks! This project was challenging!
I thought the job you did on that handle was fantastic. What a great job! Nice video and enjoyed the ending with the fellows name and seeing all those islands he went to. The Things R.C. Tedder must have seen.
Thanks! I wish I knew more about R.C Tedder.
Fyi- ANDY LOOOOOVES IT!!!! I think Dixie, the sailor's step daughter will too!!
Thanks Andy! It was a challenging but fun project!
@@357magdad I KNEW you were up for it!!!!
You did an impeccable job. Not only is it beautiful. It honors those who used it and those who fought for our freedom. Thanks for sharing the video and as always excellent job.
Thanks ToolScouter! This was a challenging project! I'm glad it turned out OK!
Well that turned out even better than expected. I knew you'd do a good job but wow, it's just fantastic!
Thanks! It was a challenging project!
This video helped me very much in making a leather handle for my Ontario sp1.
I attached the buttcap the same way as this knife 👍
I'm glad my video was helpful! I'd love to see photos of your project! 357mdad@gmail.com
WOW, That turned out very nice, A job well done. Thanks for honoring a veteran.
Thanks Dale!
Excellent! Tricky job with a great result. Looks almost NOS.
Thanks! I wanted it to look like the original.
Fantastic job. I love the feel of these handles when the leather is like suede, just after shaping.
Thanks!
That certainly came out fantastic, how cool is that with all the islands engraved. As other have said it is worthy of a display case. Hopefully someone in the comments will know the exact issue that blackened the leather.
Thanks Pat! It is worthy of display!
I’m sure Andy will love the way you did the handle. I know I did! Fantastic job! 👍👍
I LOOOOOVE IT!
Thanks Frank! It was a challenging project!
After seeing it done with the island engravings I'd make it a show piece with a case
I agree!
You did a super nice job. And restored a piece of history. This is what restorations all about.
Thanks Allen! I bet this knife could tell some stories!
This was a wonderful restoration. Technically interesting as always, but also providing a glimpse into one man's personal journey through a momentous period in history
It was very interesting to discover, by the way, how simple (when you've seen it done!) leatherwork like this on a knife handle turns out to be
Best wishes. Patrick
Thanks Patrick! I learned a lot on this stacked leather knife handle that I hope to apply to future projects.
Magdad
That's, ĥands down, one of the best restorations I have ever seen. I would love to see the look on your friend's face when he sees the end result.
The black coloring may not have come from the wet/dry sandpaper. It may have come from the water and the steel. The tannic acid left in the leather may have contributed. All said it may have been rust.
Bob
DUDEZILLA I was 'super duper' excited with what 'THE HAMMER OF THE GODS' AKA Magdad did! He made DREAMS COME TRUE!!
Thanks Robert! I won't be wet sanding the next stacked leather handle!
Oh, and I loved Tip Toe Out The Back 😊.
Another meticulous and beautifully done restoration, Magdad. Kudos!
Thanks Roy!
That looks FANTASTIC!!!!!! Came out better than I expected.
Thanks Elliot!
Outstanding results. I would never have thought to stain and use poly on leather.
Thanks! I Googled it and it sounded like it would work.
Excellent work Magdad, a lot of work though, too bad about the staining from the wet sanding, glad you managed to retrieve the situation, it looked spot on ! I'm sure Andy must be thrilled with the result !
I LOOOOOVE it!
Thanks Andy! This was a challenging project!
OMG! It looks great! I've made a lot of knife scales and handles but I've never leather. Great job Magdad!
Thanks! It was a challenging project. I definitely learned a few things that will help me on the next one!
MG, I missed this when originally posted. Over the top restoration!!! Nice recovery from the silicon carbide staining.
Thanks John! This was a challenging project!
You did a great job on that one! Looks very nice 👍! Have a wonderful Easter 🐰🐣
Thanks Mike! Happy Easter!
As far as I am concerned that handle turned out most excellent sir. Thanks for the video .
Thanks Terry!
A lot of work but well worth it looking at the end result. You really honored his Grandfather well. Excellent!👍🏻 USA!
Thanks Mike!
Nice neat cutting on the butt to remove the plate. A dremel is the poor mans scalpel. You come up with innovative ideas. Very good job. The knife is priceless.
Thanks Jeff! I've got a Dremel, and I'm not afraid to use it!
Fantastic restoration and thanks for saving a piece of history
Thanks David!
Very cool knife and restore.
Thanks Gator!
I just picked up one of these the other day, and I've been trying to find info on restoring it, especially the handle. This is so very helpful! Great video.
Thanks for watching! I'm glad my video was helpful!
Anything that brings to mind what those people did …the sheer loyalty and guts on both sides shows what people can do right or wrong…🖖🏻
I agree Chuck!
Wow! I know it was a lot of work, but that is definitely something to be proud of, Great work!
Thanks! It was a challenging project!
You are a brave man wearing a nice shirt while gluing up the handle. Great Job!
Thanks Don! I have two flannel "shop shirts" one red and one blue that I got from Cabelas 20+ years ago. Mrs Magdad has patched both many times!
Happy Easter 357magdad! That is an awesome job on a knife that is priceless in more ways than one. Wow! I am sure Andy & R.C. Tedder will like it & appreciate the time and work effort you put into this!
I LOOOOOVE it!
Thanks Jeff! It was a challenging project!
@@357magdad I could clearly see that. Also I went to Andy M.’s channel and watched it … He did a really good job at restoring and preserving both!
I turned a few pens with leather I stacked from a belt that belonged to my uncle before he passed away. I already knew from experience that the leather was gonna be a bastard to grind down. You nailed it, that handle looks better than new.
Thanks! The leather was tough to sand!
That came out looking fantastic!
Thanks!
Wow!!! What a truly excellent job!! Magnificent knife, and a real legacy piece...
Thanks! This was a challenging project!
A beautiful piece of history.
I agree! Thanks for watching!
I think you did an incredible job! What a cool piece of history!
Thanks!
Awesome job man getting ready to tackle an old western that had been rescued from a pawn shop lol.
Thanks! This was a challenging project. I have another stacked leather knife handle to do - I hope I get to it this year.
Wow Magdad, you knocked that one out of the park! You made a point to mention putting a trash can under the vise. It's one of those things that's easy to forget to do. But if the blade shot out of the end cap onto the cement floor it could have snapped the point right off.
I love that he includes such narrative details. No other content creator I watch does that. Is it entirely necessary? Not really…, but it really makes MagDad relatable to me.
Thanks Rick! That's exactly the kind of disaster I was hoping to prevent!
Outstanding restoration MagDad! I was so excited the moment I saw the thumbnail as I instantly recognized this knife. I owned a knife of nearly the exact same pattern and era only mine was manufactured by the Cattaraugus Cutlery Co. NY. The pummel on mine was about 3x thicker and had crude checkering on the end, otherwise nearly identical to yours. You did a fantastic job overall and really saved the handle finish from blackening caused by the wet/dry. No worries! What a great piece of history this knife is. This is one of my favorite videos of yours.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I was pretty discouraged when the leather turned black. I'm glad it worked out in the end.
That turned out wonderfully. I really like the colour of the handle, but to be honest I also liked the way the black looked. You did that thing justice. Well done!
Thanks Martin! I considered leaving it black.
Glad to see the history of the knife was sanded off the blade the handle came good as new
Thanks Larry!
Your skills are very impressive. You never cease to amaze me. Handle looks great.
Thanks Ben! This was a challenging project! I was pretty discouraged when the leather turned black. I'm glad it came out OK!
Very impressive as always Magdad. I think anyone would be proud to own that knife! 🗡👍🇺🇸
Thanks Roger! It is definitely a keeper!
Thank you for your great work! It is the first time to know the magnetic fixing tool of the artifact, and to see such a special knife.
Thanks for watching!
Dang! That looks awesome! Great work!
Thanks!
beautiful job well done. the tales it could tell!!
Thanks Andrew! I wish I knew more about R.C. Tedder.
Awesome job Magdad!
Thanks David!
That knife tells a great story and you and Andy did a great job! Happy Easter!
Thanks Tony! Happy Easter!
Spot on that's amazing work thanks for sharing your time and skill thanks for sharing a fantastic video 🍺🍺👍👍🇬🇧

Thanks Steve!
Amazing job. You never cease to surprise me.
Thanks! This was a challenging project!
That looks like a good save to me. Ain’t nothing wrong with that.
Thanks Pete!
Magdad, you made an outstanding job of the restoration.
Thanks Tony!
One of your best projects to date!
Thanks David! It was a challenging project!
That's a wonderful piece of history and I'm positive being a veteran myself that the original owner would be very pleased with your restoration of his knife. Nice job Magdad!
Thanks Ivan and thank you for your service!
Awesome job! Andy’s gonna love it!
ANDY LOOOOOVES IT!
Thanks Bill!
Great job Magdad !! Congratulations 👍
Thanks!
What a egg-sighting video!
Awesome job Magdad 👏🏻 and awesome story behind the knife. I think he will be very happy with the outcome and you should too. Thank You for sharing!
Thanks Jack!
Great job Magdad !
Thanks Roy!
Superb work Magdad. If that was my knife I would be very proud to have it given back to me in that condition. You performed a perfectly sympathetic restoration and turned me off leather handles. They look like a tremendous amount of work.
Great job mate.
Thanks Shed Man! I learned a lot that will help the next stacked leather project a little easier.
Wow Magdad. A TON of work and an amazing outcome.
Thanks! It was a challenging project!
Awesome job Magdad, the leather is beautiful 👍👍👍. Cheers mate, Stuart 🇦🇺
Thanks Stuart! This was a challenging project!
What a great video and outstanding job! awesome knife! And the history of it just fantastic! What a keepsake! Great job, Magdad!!!
Thanks Vic! It was a lot of work, but worth it in the end!
Excellent work. Thank you
Thanks!
Beautiful restoration! I didn't realize part of the tang was exposed on some stacked leather handles.
Thanks Jeff! I've got a smaller knife with the same design.
Outstanding job getting original look.
Thanks John!
Challenging job you were up for the task great job!
Thanks Michael!
Turn out awesome, thank you for the video.
This was a challenging project!
I think that took a lot of patience! Worth it though!
Thanks Bill! This was a challenging project!
You are a master of your craft
This was the first time I tried a stacked leather handle. I learned a lot for the next time!
Lovely job MagDad 🛠👍😊
Thanks!
