Restoration of Old Rusted Bowie Knife

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Hello folks! Today I have a restoration of a very old Bowie knife. The knife is so rust! In some places, the blade has become thinner than a leaf. But, he got into the right hands and I will bring him back. Let's start the restoration!
The first thing I did manually was to remove the rust layer. Then he placed it in a jar and filled it with a rust remover, then washed, dried and treated the surface of the wire iron brush.
Then, with of a sanding machine, I corrected the cutting edge and the shape of the Bowie knife. Also made new bevels. The surface was lightly sanded, polished and degreased completely. Then he etched the blade in a solution of nitric acid. I really wanted to preserve the texture of the blade surface as much as possible. I did it.
Next, the handle of the knife, I made according to the classics using a deer horn. For the padding, I used mahogany wood and leather.
The sheath for the knife was made of genuine thick leather. And I did a very interesting Bowie knife test. The steel turned out to be wonderful! I hope you enjoy this restoration video.
Sincerely, Alex. Thanks for attention!
Good luck and health to everyone! With best wishes, Alex!

    You never disappoint me. That Bowie is perfection. There was nothing you did with that blade that wasn’t spot on. The only thing that upsets me about this one is that I can’t wear it on my belt. Keep doing what you are doing comrade.

    I am with those who were afraid this one could not be saved. The pitting looked so deep that trying to grind it flat would leave nothing but you proved us wrong by not trying to grind it flat! There was more “meat” left than it seemed. Another piece of “junk” saved from the scrap pile and given a new life. This must be very satisfying for you.

I figured you would have to cut so much off it would be way smaller than the original but you did it again. That was a most impressive knife it took a beating and stayed sharp and strong.
