Old Bent Knife Restoration with Hand Tools Only
It started as an old bent knife restoration and finished in a totally different direction. After discovering more about the blade and the handle, I decided to age the handle and keep the blade original as possible. It has that nice charm of handmade blade from a file. Adding old pommel and bolster gave an additional nostalgic feel to it. Overhaul I am happy with the result and look.

if you have vinegar you can soak the blade in it to force a patina for a darker color on the blade

Good evening! Thank you for your support! I didn't, the main thing is where you hold the knives after the restoration and how you use them, you can fill the space with glue, but I don't like to do that ...
great job! Was this knife made from a file?

Parabéns ficou bom, mas eu acredito que você deveria tirar as marcas de ferrugem da lamina, porque ela é bem grossa e suportaria a eliminação das marcas. Sou do Brasil. Congratulations was good, but I believe you should remove the rust marks from the blade, because it is very thick and would support the removal of the marks. I'm from Brazil.

looks good but have to say that blade needs hardening and tempering as isn't going to hold an edge being soft as it is

Дружище, прийми во внимание то что при нагреве рукоять может треснуть и эпоксидка может поплыть и потерять свои качества.

Why don't you put the vinegar in a tray rather than a jar?,you would'nt have to use so much!🤔

Because I want to close the jar and don't have vinegar smell everywhere. Plus I reuse vinegar so many times, so it is not a problem to use a bit more 👍 Thanks for the suggestion and watching Roger! I appreciate that!
