Old Broken Pocket Knife | Pocket Knife Restoration
In today’s video I am restoring this old broken pocket knife. I found markings on the blade Gust.Haker Solingen. Pocket knife is rusted and hard to open and has a smaller broken blade. My first idea was to replace the blade with spare ones, but after finding markings on the smaller blade as well I decided to keep it and shape it a bit…

Hey everyone! This time I have changed a bit filming set up. I received some comments that is too dark and difficult to watch so I changed that as well as music. I tried to make a balance… Looking forward to hear more great suggestions and ideas, thank you for all support! Stay positive and enjoy in summer! See you next Monday 😊 Boris, Norway

@@FFD_RestorationsThanks. I meant the material/polishing wheels mounted together rather than the stone grinding wheel. I'm guessing that they're normally separate but you just put them on next to each other?

I have a couple of old British Army knives that I need to renovate.

I see you have a lot of really small parts to clean, sand, and polish. Try using a magnetic base stop some wood workers use to set up on tables of drill presses and table saws as a temporary stops or device holding. They have what I refer to as a on/off switch on lever to magnetize/ demagnetize the surface, that would hold the part for you and give you complete access to your parts and make it easy to retrieve your parts when finished. Just a thought.

Try any kind of magnet at first to see if the idea would work. Earth magnets might be to strong making it difficult to get parts off. Epoxy the magnet on something you can fasten in your vise or clamp to table. Let me know how it works if you decide to try it. I might be able to help you out.
