Rusty WWI Bayonet Restoration Epoxy Resin Handle
Rusty World War 1 Bayonet Restoration with Epoxy Resin Handle. Take a look and tell me in a comment what you think. Also can help me grow by clicking the subscribe button and enable the notifications.
In this video I restore an old and rusty bayonet from the first world war. I found this rusty bayonet on Etsy app and I decided to do a restoration for you guys. After the package has come to me,I saw the wood handle and I certainly couldn't keep the wood;my second decision was to do a new and cool handle with epoxy resin - so I started to work to a new restoration project.
The bayonet had engraved : WEYERSBERG KIRSCHBAUM & CIE SOLINGEN,so is a german bayonet.
Maybe some will hate me because I used epoxy resin for a bayonet that has a history behind, but certainly this bayonet will no longer be used, and for a piece of furniture I find the use of epoxy resin in handle,very cool.
I hope I made a successful restoration video and will be to your liking.
It's the second time I work with epoxy resin and I think this work is part of art, so don't be mean in comments.
Subscribe for more cool videos,with each restoration video I try to give the best of myself and make the best restoration possible.

I would have kept the blade untouched personally...after removing the rust. And used wood for handle. 🤔 It beautiful though.

You do incredible restoration work. Witness your loving gorgeous painstaking cleaning and restoring of the blade. You asked for an opinion about the handle so here's my take: this is listed as a WWI bayonet. The name on the blade, the design-all of the metal speaks to an age of around one hundred years ago or more. So, with this incredibly beautiful antique metal blade, my sense is that I would want to preserve it's antiquity and historical look with an actual wooden handle. The artificial material, while nice for many types of furniture, etc. is to me a jarring introduction of the modern into something that is actually old. But, still, the red coloration looks a little like deep reddish tinted burl wood. Ultimately you are a master at what you do and I always look forward to your new videos!

I like the new handle. I was not sure if red would look good, but it does.
Great job on the knife and thank you for not making the handle look like gold
the new handle was beautiful. I won lie, I would have preferred a wooden handle like the original had, but I might make a knife with an epoxy handle like that myself one day.

my only issue is the resin handle, i would have rather it be wood but understand why you chose the resin over wood as it’s visual and a conversation piece so it looks older in a way that you can’t get with new wood: completely understandable and done for the right reasons. it’s visual art, it’s as close as you can get to original condition without a time machine so nicely done!

Very nice! I would have preferred to see a new wood handle but the epoxy handle looked far from bad. Something to note is that this bayonet intended to be used in a stabbing motion instead of a slashing motion like you did with the watermelon, so oftentimes the bottom side was left fairly blunt.
When I first saw the title about epoxy handles, I wasn't so sure, but it turned it so much better than expected. Great job.

It saddens me everytime I remember this thing probly stabbed into atleast one person. I mean, it looks so nice
I liked how you did the handles. As someone who collects 98 bayonets (typically of the later ww2 period) a ww1 bayonet is hard to come by. The epoxy resin coloring was a nice touch. Unlike the bayonet restoration that I seen before, you made it where it still will mount on the rifle. I didnt care for the sharpening of the blade, as most were left unsharpened for maximum trauma. But it isnt me restoring it. It is up to the collector if they want to add this to the collection. And I do believe someone would add to theirs for the right price. Oh and that knob in the back does come off. All the s98 bayonets were made that way.
