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.

    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. 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.
