Old KJ Mora Knife Restoration - Collaboration with The Grant Alexander

Today I am excited to show you a collaboration video where I restored old KJ Mora Knife and @TheGrantAlexander made a beautiful knife stand with FFD initials out of a recycled old fireplace wood. Restoration on my part went really well this time, I haven’t had any hiccups even though I did a complex handle painting process.
Now I will head to The Grant Alexander’s channel and see how he made this wonderful cool looking knife stand, you should do the same / thegrantalexander

    Thank you so much Boris! It's a beautiful knife and the combination of colours on the handle to represent our countries was a great idea! I can say confidently no one out there will ever have a knife like this! 😁

    As somewhat of a traditionalist, I am glad that when I read the comments I found out that the handle had some significance to you, because I thought it was hideous. That lovely wood with oil and wax to me would have been better. Nice work on the blade especially since it was all hand driven tools.

    Another great restoration. I have a small tip that works for me. If I am doing lots of hand sanding or sharpening with paper I prefer a little padding under the paper and have found that old mouse pads are perfect. I am running out and need a source for free mouse pads. I have a 2 inch wide sanding board with 2 grades of paper on each side and i am now thinking about those ruberey drawer liners that people use for silverware.

  • @FFD_Restorations

    @FFD_Restorations

    3 жыл бұрын

    Hi there! Thanks for asking! I posted on community tab about the Etsy shop. I wrote in that post: ¨Sad announcement, for those who shopped vintage knives in my Etsy shop and directly supported restorations I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Sadly, I will not sell vintage knives anymore because Etsy has closed a few of my listings. The reason for that is that ¨Etsy prohibits propaganda, collectibles, and curios that commemorate hate groups, even when they are being sold for historical or educational purposes.¨, further more ¨Please be aware that continuing to list prohibited items may lead to the suspension of your account.¨. Even though I haven't done anything wrong, I respect their platform and rules, and decided to stop selling on Etsy because tomorrow they can change rules or whatever and deactivate even more of my listings. To find, make photos and video, list, sell and ship a vintage knife takes a lot of energy and time. I was making a very little money to support my restorations and buy old tools to use in my videos. Long story short, it doesn't worth it. It is better to channel that time and energy in new videos and new creative ideas.¨
