I bought a Ka-Bar knife back in the late 80's and carried it during hunting season. When my son joined the Marines as a rifleman (0311), I gave it to him before his first deployment.

Thanks for your son's service, @russhoffman6301!

I absolutely love this! One of my most prized possessions is my grandfather's Ka-Bar. He was a Raider in WW2. It was issued to him just before the battle of Guam in 1944. He did, in fact, use it to kill the enemy.

I number the spacers and washers on the same corner and side with a sharpie. You can get a KABAR leather handle rebuild kit that includes the steel guard, pommel, and pommel pin.

Brilliant work. I was wondering why you never kept a shine on it, then I remembered it is a military object and the shine would give your position away. I enjoyed this one a lot. 👌👍👍

Take a rusty old KA-BAR to a thing of beauty, Worth a lot to a collector no doubt.

Put chalk dust in your files when using them with Aluminium, it stops them getting clogged

Is there a reason to remove rest manually when you have a sandblaster? Legit question, I'm just getting into sandblasting and it seems like it's the better route most of the time. And of course I'm not talking about the mess and clean up and everything, just the results

I had a knife custom forged and built in a K-Bar style using shrapnel and funeral bullets from my father who served in WWII

In the early 80s I was in the British Army, I swapped a Army jumper with an American soldier for K Bar k ife. I still have that knife I bet he doesn't have the jumper ❤🇬🇧🇬🇧

Yes. 1095 steel. Military issue. Awesome.

You were doing a beautiful job,,,,,, Steel and Brass are the ONLY metals for a true Kabar.

I recognized the crack on the spine. It's either a cold shunt, or a delamination. Which means the knife was not heat treated or forged properly during production. It's not an end of the world issue overall, but it would be good not to put excessive force on it, so it doesn't snap. Otherwise, it's a perfect piece😊

Most likely made by a foreign maker. Thousands were probably thrown away because of that split.

Your cat rusty looks a lot like my cat cozy.

HA HA the Kabar spirits don't like aluminum.

Excellent restoration and you did a wonderful job restoring it as well!!! Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up

Nicely done.

That’s a nice knife & sheath thanks for bringing it to us great work as always 👍

Nice Restoration ❤💯

Where did you find it?

Beautiful knife beautiful restoration well done

Just so it’s known; I came for can man.

Restoring items like this honor those who served!

I have my grandfather's Ka-bar from when he served in the Pacific during WWII.

Awesome work.

Nice restoration, and a cute kitty to boot👍🔪😼!!!

Que capo..! Excelente...!

That was great to watch. Excellent work!

Loved the work and Rusty too!

Yes, I've been to Olean, NY. I attended St. Bonaventure University in the late 70s-early 80s. Bona is roughly 4 miles east of Olean. Although, my Ka-Bar was made in Camillus, NY; which is a suburb of Syracuse.

Great work !!

Great job. The handle is incredible. The finished knife is absolutely amazing. ❤ My dads nickname was Rusty because he had red hair. Your cat is beautiful 😊

I liked your dumb joke, brought back memories of basic training. Hooah, lol!

....lookin' good, nice work..

amazing restoration

FYI.The shoe wax can be lit and will burn. A few seconds leave liquid wax much easier to apply. Great job.

Thank you, my dear, very beautiful

Use chalk when sanding aluminum

Beautiful knife

Well done!

Good work, & Rusty is very cute!

Another great restoration 👍👏 Congratulations and Greetings from Belgium 😉🇧🇪👋😺

Hi, Rusty

7:02 - I see Ghost from True Capitalist Radio found a new job

I have several Ka-Bars and seeing one in that initial condition cause me some small amount of physical pain...

Another great video. 😃😃

Класс 👍👍👍

Whats the stuff you put on the blade to darken it?

That’s my hometown. There’s a chance that knife was made by my uncle.

You scraped that joke out of the bottom of that rubbish bin, didn't you... 😉

At min 3:12 I think thats called delamination; it basically means the layers of metal that make up the knife are pulling apart.

You didn't show how to put the pomel on

Careful. A lot of corrupt DAs out there who would do an illegal bust to have that knife. Sad but true.

Don't hate on the rust. LOL

good😘😘

Every thing looked fantastic - but - I didn't care for bluing the blade.

🥰

MASTERPIECE!

That looks just like a delamination. I watch way too much forged in fire. I have no idea how it would have a delam or a quench crack thought.

Don’t you add salt or washing soda to your water to remove the rust?

Why was it called a ka-bar knife. Where did the name originate from?

@timothyvongalii937

Жыл бұрын

According to KA-bar lore, they had a different name way back in frontier times, and got a letter from a satisfied customer, saying it could probably “kill a bear” if it needed to. The writer of the letter was barely literate, so came off as “kill a bar” or “ka a bar” and they took “Ka-bar” as their name

I gotta say boo on that messed up handle... The blade looks amazing but that handle... Ugh

Wow, I’d pay $20 for the finished product! :)

After that lame joke you need to drop and give me 50.

I can't believe you consider this a restoration. A truly restored Ka-Bar would have had a parkerized blade, and a steel guard and buttcap. Using aluminum, and bluing the blade rather than parkerizing it is an offense to anybody that ever served in the Marine corps, myself included.

To treat an imperial army non commissioned officers sword with such disrespect and then to turn around and treat a u s marine k bar knife with such respect Was insulting to both armies

Non posso vedere certe cose, lo sapevo che la punta del trapano si sarebbe incastrata alla fine del foro, ha rischiato di tagliarsi i polpastrelli e finire in ospedale. Una morsa piccola per trapano a colonna costa 10 euro non vale la pena di finire all'ospedale. Oppure usate una pinza grip .
