These restoration videos are my favorites. Beautiful work.

I received my first ever knife from you today, Kyle, (Yellowfox with the forge finish Scandi grind & grey curly maple handle) and just wanted to say a quick thank you. It's an astonishingly beautiful, well built knife...an heirloom for sure. It's surprisingly heavy (in a good way!) and the craftsmanship is incredible. The longer handle fits my large hand perfectly, and the awesome, seamless finishing between the wood & metal spine just makes the knife feel so good in hand. I simply adore the unique blade shape, with the harpoon swedge on top, and the forge finish looks awesome. I can't wait to take this out in the field and use it. This will definitely not be my last KN blade. Thanks again!

Great job.

My third video ruana puma n marbles yes this man knows what he is doing 👏 🙌 hope to have him restore a few for me

Thanks for watching!

I was always advised by antique knife guys that removing the old patina from an antique knife blade will devalue the knife. Keeping as much of the original aged grey dark patina as possible is what you want on an old knife. I just bought an old bowie knife with some rust and grime on the blade. I used .0000 steel wool and semi chrome metal polish to remove the grime and surface rust without removing any of the old grey patina. You did a fantastic job on the marbles knife. It looked right when you finished.

I have that knife. I found it in my father in-law’s crawl space after he passed on. The sheath wasn’t salvageable but the knife was. I had to make a new sheath. The only difference is mine has an end cap made of antler. I looked it up and it may have been made in the 30’s or 40’s. Nice job as usual. I was surprised to see my knife on your channel. 🔪

Good overall result, HOWEVER I feel that the threading should not have been shortened. A new and deeper pommel would have been my preferred way to go. Just my thoughts 😊

Just couldn't leave that old masterpiece alone. I bet you have have a chrome plated Luger in your collection.

Looks exactly like a Western blade I have.

any true craftsman is a pleasure to watch

Nice work 👍 saving another marbles knife 👍 I live a about 5 miles away from the old marbles factory. I restore several marbles knifes , nice job 👍

I have probably 50 hunting knives with stag and leather stacked handles, some Western, Shrade, Case, Solingen, etc. I prefer oiling and wiping them down, leaving them as they are.

Nice restoration. Really looking forward to the sharpening. And the sheath build.

I thoroughly enjoyed this video. It was nice to see you and your family give thanks for the meal at the end of the video.

Love watching these old blades brought back to life! Well done Kyle, beautiful restoration. 🙌🏻👍🏻

Lovely job I did not think the blade would look that nice well done

Amazing restoration! I have two vintage Marbles Ideal knives of the same vintage. Vintage Marbles are great knives which holdcs fine edge. 😊

Great job Kyle! You definitely do amazing work . Thanks for posting . Take care and stay safe my friend !

👍 I love those old Marbles knives. You did a wonderful job bringing this one back to life. Thanks for sharing.

A lovely old knife given a new lease of life good on you Kyle.

Was there a follow-up to this video on sharpening the knife and building a sheath?

Another stunning restoration, Kyle. Again looking forward to part two. Thanks to both you and necessity, I now find myself trying to learn more about leather working with the future intent of building some knife sheaths. Right now my efforts have been focused on axe and hatchet sheaths. I hope to pick up some more tips on hand sharpening as well as sheath making in part two of this restoration. Thanks for all the knowledge you continue to share with us. Also, I hope the meal tasted as good as it looked!

Wonderful restoration. Supper looks good too.

Absolutely stunning

Very Well Done Kyle ! Customer Will Be Super Happy ! Awesome Looking Feed ! ATB T God Bless

The best part...eating supper with the old man. Cowabunga.!

Great work like always Kyle.

Really Great Job Kyle 🙏

Have one just like it, great video guys now I what it's take to restore it!!!👍

Nice Video

I found one of these in a bucket of rusty water once. Had to change it up quite a bit bit to salvage it but it's still really cool.

I love your videos but I never thought I would get hungry after watching one , 😅.

Very nice Kyle. This is a beautiful knife Take care and God bless

Wonderful work as usual Kyle You have more courage than I do tackling restoration of classic knives that I would just keep insitu as a historical reference However if you’re going to take one back to nearly new condition I suppose you should go for it and you did and you achieved the desired outcome Wonderful job sir

Beautiful

Love it

Good stuff!

do you know what steel this knife was?

Has anyone seen a knife like that!?..only difference is a saw edge half way down the spine, but same handle, I'm new to this, don't know the terminology, but I'm going to restore this like your video shows!!!...Thankyou for showing how!!!

They do make bits/tools to take that pommel nut off. They are called spanner bits. Hinderer uses the same idea on his pivots. Beautiful knife, and work BTW. Just in time for the TOPS/Marbles "wood craft" remake/reimagining.

The Hinderer hardware is annoying. Not as bad as proprietary but still.. the vast majority of us actually buying and using high end enthusiast knives just want t8 hardware.

With regards where the pommel wasn't engaging with the shoulders of the tang, and you removed one of the rings of the handle to bring the pommel in closer to engage on the shoulders; Could you not have welded some extra material to the shoulders and built them up so they would engage with the pommel, or, might those welds have formed a weakpoint in 'the system of the handle', and potentially sheared off internally, due to torsion during use? As always, beautiful work 👍👍👍👍

I have a old Western with a loose butt cap thats pinned on the bottom, how do I tighten it up ?

How do you find the benchmade 940? I’ve been debating getting one. Get work too by the way.

Very cool! Enjoy that rabbit!

Tops just did a remake of that knife with marbles , Woodcraft.

Tbh i liked all that beautiful patina on the blade. Good job nonetheless.

I have a old Catterhargus knife to restore that belonged to my Great Grandfather.

All beautiful except shortening the handle. Id would rather have a new unmatching leather washer than cut the handle short.

Did the cat get some rabbit?

I love the blade like that's but would want a new handle and that would be about it an a new leather sheath with that knife lol

The restoration was killer then the rabbit! Oh I wish I had rabbit.

weird, sometimes i hear your voice only on one side of my headset...

Yep, the left side is normal, right side does have audio, but about 20% of the volume of the left.

Well. I see those old Classic 60-90 year old knives differently. Light restoration- clean them up--to strip the years of patina is a shame. This trend I see all over KZread to take old Classic Axes,Hatchets and knives and strip the beautiful age/patina and make them like shiny chrome bumper-would have been Taboo 25 years ago. But times have changed.

There was only one guy that made that and he died 20 years ago

Why do people do this, you took away a hundred years worth of use, they say steel has no memory, but it remembers
