  • I found an old broken automatic knife and decided to restore it. Restoration is not easy. The knife is similar to the Switchblade Knife, Shur-Snap Colonial. The blade in the knife was broken and I made a new blade. Made a new knife. Removed the rust. I hope you liked my restoration.

    Гарна праця. Механізми у ножах, замість мастила краще використовувати стержень звичайного, простого олівця. Покращує тертя і не накопичує пилу. Це не наполягання)), а порада. Спробуй і відчуєш різницю. Дякую за відео.

    That's quite the knife, the construction was significantly different from all the examples I have seen, the handle was made out of solid steel, and filed beautifully, I can see why you chose to grab it, regardless of the blade, this is a rare one, and the blade design you chose was perfect for it, a nice clip point design, beautiful and intimidating all at the same time. I would have chosen replacement Brass screws, but I have to say the polished steel ones look good too. So good work! I was expecting you to make a new sliding block as the lock to replace the one inside, it looked pretty rough. But all in all, I'd say you came out with a significantly better knife that when you started the video with!!! :P LOL

    I'll give you some news on this flick knife. It is Italian and probably from the 19th century given the manufacture.
    It was called "The Spaniard" "Lo Spagnolo" and was produced in Naples, in the region called Campania. During that period the Kingdom of Naples was under the aegis of the Bourbons, who you may know were Spanish.
    It was also known as "white pocket weapon" among the Guappi, minions of the Camorra lords of the time (1850).

    If you ever need to quench something again. Heat up a piece of metal and throw in the oil. For example take that old piece of blade and either throw in the oven or even heat to orange with the blow torch. Will save you some time. Just a thought from a hobbyist blades bladesmith.

Maybe this process of wearing it out, then restoring it, will continue on for thousands of yrs....at some point it may turn into a completely different knife than it started, maybe many times over.
