As with most of such videos, it seems the knife has never degraded in a first place, but was rather made to look like one for a video)

I can assure you with all my heart and integrity that that knife, or any of my old or upcoming videos has NOT and will NOT be artificially aged. It is a practice I do not like to see either. Artificially Ageing an object just to get views is not what it’s about for me. I like to give an object a new lease of life so it can be cherished once again. The views are a side effect of a job well done. Thanks for your comment 👍

​​​@@reallycrafty5276 I would absolutely love to be wrong, and you did some handy job indeed. It is just that some parts of the restoration were skipped or shown partially, so you might want to consider that part for the future videos. As for the origin of the knife pay attention to the "Made in Germany" on the blade. It is very possible you have restored an old Victorinox considering the look, the tools and the blade. Victorinox knives were once made in Germany afaik.

@@Evans_UA I first published this video a good while back. It was my first ever video so the editing won’t be as good as the other established Chanel’s. There may be inconsistencies within the video because I edited the video and cut allot of the video away to shorten it. Since making a new thumbnail it has had more success than the original. My next video is a video I started filming a year or so ago. I have started filming it again recently and just about finished it. After this upcoming video is finished I can then focus on new videos from start to finish. I’m still on a steep learning curve. l will take your criticism on board and use it to improve my future videos. Thanks for your reply, much appreciated 👍 Edited: I confused this video with the dagger which I recently re-edited. But I did cut allot of the original away of this knife to shorten it in the original edit.

@@reallycrafty5276 these knives where made by Victorynox bit they also sold a license to make them to Wenger in germany. The one you have gotten must have been one of those.

Wow!!! Outstanding restoration!! That style of can opener was in use up to World War Two. My guess on the time frame. You have a great eye and had quality material to work with. Your many skills brought about that transformation!!! Well done sir!!! The Old Army Scout…

Wonderful skills to restore a beautiful, again, knife.

One of the most satisfying videos I've seen in a long time. Excellent job!

Thank you very much for your kind words.

Best Swiss army knife restoration I've ever seen!

I love seeing items restored. you have done a good job,Sir. ~ Janet

Pretty cool. A lot of tools and chemistry to make it live again.

I think this is one of the first 15000 Swiss Army Knife (Modell 1890) that have been produced in Germany. That weird 2-head tool is the can opener.

Great job

Keep up the good work lad! Sehr gut!

Nice video! Just curious is the blade sharp?

Hi, look for Company stamp ( Boker, Eickhorn ) if yes it cut by a German Knife from the 50-60 if not it is Jabanise or jounger from taiwan Realy good work keep on going🎉😊

Victorinox Swiss Army, does not make a Wood Carving knife that has two carving blades, a saw, and a large roughing blade. Blades that have 58 or better Rockwell hardness or 440 or better stainless steel. Just three slots (not sure what they are called) handles. that are rounded for comfort, with locking blades. Folded no more than 3 1/2 inches long. If all the carvers out there will unite and keep bugging Vicky about it, I am sure they will listen.

Great idea. They have so many other models to appease everyone else. How about us? Time to give the carvers some.

The "lobster claw" style can opener is pre WWII. (For U.S. made knives anyway)

That was impressive! Obviously not your first rodeo.

Nice job, you made this knife reborn ! But of course, it is'nt a genuine swiss army knife, just a rather low quality german made pocket knife. Looks good now, anyway !

Maybe a post war Germany copy of a Boy Scout pocket knife.

what was the wire you used for the new rivets? just whatever gauge fits?

@reallycrafty5276

Hi, I used a 2.5mm Electrode used in Arc Welding. I removed the flux material then cleaned it with some sand paper. The original rivet was only mild steel so something this will be fine.

I never minded pitting too much. I think it adds character to the knife just like forge marks or patina.

The screwdriver needed re profiling really.👍

Marked Made in Germany, so definitely before 1945. For export based on the English. Nice work.

As it’s has 3 tools at one spring that was invented by Carl’s Elsener the first (founder of victorinox the real Swiss Army knife in 1893) it has to be later than that think it can be 1930 to 1960

I think i've seen this vid somewhere? are you re-uploading peoples content?

In the 70s, most of the 80s (maybe 60s I don't know that far back) a Swiss Army knife was more of a type of knife like a Stockman or Barlow than a country or brand specific thing like it is now. They could come from anywhere, had the multitools and often the red scales but not always. Many were just Scout knives with red scales instead of the traditional Scout knife scales. What you have there is a prime example, most (none premium) makers from Japan to America made a version (can't remember any Sheffield makers doing the red scales though) including Germany.

@davidsiegel9847

No. You are referring to Victorinox or Wenger Swiss Army Knife knock-offs. Barlows and Stockmen aren't even the same style or appearance. Swiss Army implies a contractual supply relation to the Swiss Ministry of Defense, which manages the supply of the Swiss Army. Not really a generic term. Victorinox competitors in Switzerland don't call their knives Swiss Army Knives. Swiss, but not Army. I'm born in the early 50s and have 40 or 50 Victorinox pocket knives, from the Classic, to the Hunter Pro.
