Old Broken Automatic Knife Restoration. Making a new blade
Ойын-сауық
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.

Круто сделал👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 отличная работа, но эту ржавую, кривую пружину ты не мог поменять🤷🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
The effort and honesty to put in 'failures and further adjustments is really impressive. It would be so easy for you to just cut it down and be like "Oh I did it first time". Instead you really show the process.
Outstanding restoration of a very interesting piece!!! Your mastery of multiple skills provides an excellent result!!! Incredible job!!! Thanks for sharing your work with us!
Excellent choice of restoration subject. I've seen enough bench vises, coffee grinders, and rusty wrenches being restored. An old broken switchblade is a welcome change. Good skills too.

Really impressed that you stuck with it and filed and polished the edge by hand. I would have gotten impatient and taken it to the belt sander.
Impressive restoration! The blade grinder was cleaver and ingenious 👍😊

As a Knife collector I absolutely love the design of this knife.
It's always great to restore vintage items, good job man.
Super , super mișto! Nu am mai văzut asemenea dispozitiv de declanșare a lamei .
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.

I could tell it had been used for many yrs after the blade broke, imagine someone still using it instead getting a new one, sentimental value maybe or too poor for new one or maybe didnt care.
I love the jig you made to get that angle ground in. Magnificent job on this restoration. All of your work is amazing.

That's the coolest knife I have ever seen. Awesome job.
Absolutely beautiful craftsmanship and a please to watch.
I enjoyed your video very much great work It makes me want this knife I can't afford it
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

Nice resto. I have been collecting knifes for many years. The solid handle is rare, Was costly to make and heavy making it uncomfortable in the pocket. How ever it was durable. I do have a few switchblades in my collection but not a solid body example. I will have to search the maker and hunt one down for my display. Thanks for posting.

A very, very special knife--- of apparent Spanish manufacture: those of unsurpassed design. A knife I covet greatly, and worth every second of this painstaking restoration. Thanks for sharing. I wish I could find one like this, but it is likely only a few such were made by one dedicated artisan. What a find!

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).

Interesting! Do you know if ever the "vendetta" style knife was ever spring assisted?
С закалкой клинка не уверен, в пружину масло не надо, просто грифель от карандаша на тереть, он не собирает грязь и пыль. Ну рукоятку заворонить, смотрелось бы куда лучше.
I would have liked to have seen how you put the coiled spring back as I would imagine it to be pretty difficult. Good vid and nice knife deserved the work

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. Great video btw!!

Nice restoration. You don't want to use motor oil to quench with though. If you don't have a quenching oil like parks 50 canola oil can work. Also when you dip the blade in the oil you want to move it around fairly rapidly, the hot metal creates a vapor barrier which will make the steel cool slower than is ideal. Swishing the blade around will help alleviate this.
Amazing job brother. Like from India

an awesome restoration of a cool old knife. it would've been a good candidate for nickel or silver electroplating on the handle/frame to keep skin oils and pocket sweat from causing surface rust in the future. the simple design works as well as the boker automat 74 that lives in my pocket every day. any idea of the age of the knife?

Switchblades are not illegal in the entire USA. Each state has their own laws regarding knives (including switchblades). Based upon my research, they are legal in most states.
Excellent level.
Nice job!
amazing! Maybe a hundred yrs from now itll be rusty and blade broken and someone will restore it again...maybe theyll have no clue that it was restored before. 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.

the angled knife edge sharpener was a clever homemade solution though i would've put a new spring in the blade locking slot the old one was bent and on it's way out ut i guess it still worked
