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.

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.

I had one of those . It was a good cheap knife to have back in the fifties.

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! - Jim

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.

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.

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.

I had one of those when I was a kid.

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!

Fantastic Job brother!!!!

Well done!

Well done sir

Did these come with a fork and spoon , scout version ? Because i have one thats made in ireland .

nice job

Nice!

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...

Very 👍🏼

Cool I actually have the same knife except handle color is different and it’s about the same condition! Thanks!

David Coiner my mistake. my wusthuf looks almost exactly that.. I should stopped the video and examined the blade closer!

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.

@@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.

Considering this was at best a very cheaply made pocket knife, you did a nice job.

I would have also removed the pitting on the blades as well. JMHO

Metal rescue

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.

I see why all my handles eventually fell off when I owned these knives when I was a kid.

Nice job!

The blade and tools needed a lot more work, sanding down the pitting etc. basically a good cleaning job rather than restoration.
