I thought I was the only one who shuddered when the grinder came out. All the knife needed was evapo rust, oil and a sharpening stone.

You can chemicly remove a lot of rust on old knives with vinegar this way you don't have to use scrapers and abrasives so much and take a chance of damaging them. I have cleaned up a number of old knives with vinegar and a plastic cleaning brush. Sometimes I use a metal polish with a sonic toothbrush too. Weenol and an old Sonicare tooth brush works great.

I recently got some of those little plastic wheels that chuck up in a Dremel tool... They're kind of pinwheel looking deals that come in several color coordinated grits. Good for cleaning up blades and such without being as harsh as a wire wheel. They seem to work really good so far. Those things and a little Flitz is a good way to go without doing too much.

Evapo Rust is better than vinegar. Alot less harsh on the metal, but removes rust just as well. Also reusable

Well done. It's sometimes sad to see how the good old things are neglected or even thrown away - and it's so gratifying to rescue them and bring them back to life. My oldest knife is from around 1890 and was used as a sidepocket knife in a Bavarian Lederhose. Only yesterday I rescued old brass handles (around 1900) from doors somebody threw out during a renovation. The doors themselves were done and I have a couple of beautiful wooden ones at home for my own renovation project.

Beautiful old case knife Kevin. Cleaned up nice! Books like that give you a reference to go by, but the reality is in the market of Case knife collecting,the Real serious collectors are very experienced and only lay down top cash for Mint examples. They can tell if the blade has even the slightest sharpening done etc. that being said.-There are knife guys like myself that don’t particularly seek out the Mint stuff. I prefer old valuable folders that are in the 80% -95% condition. To me they have that mojo! Your Awesome old Barlow’ there is what I prefer in a Classic pocket knife. When they’re Mint you don’t carry them and you gotta fuss to keep them polished. I don’t blame you for saying hey!!! I wouldn’t take less than $400. That old workhorse Barlow you saved from the Box means more because of its circumstance and love you put into it! You go to a knife show and lay down $475 for a Mint one in some guys glass - will not mean the same to your Heart and Soul. Enjoy that beautiful old Barlow. I scored on a beautiful old Case tested green bone Jack 2 months ago for $14 . Not mint - probably 90% and that’s the way I like em! God Bless

@theknifedr-edc

Also Remember this price ($475) was from 2008. Mint now will probably be $600-775. That’s why I said $400. Thanks for watching!!

I HAVE ONE OF THOSE SCHRADE HUNTERS 110h is the model. My dad found one in an old truck when he worked at the scrapyard. Cleaned it and sharpened it, one of the best knives i own

Any time steel has been stamped, if you can heat the steel until it discolors from the heat, even if the stamping has been sanded or polished off, the stamping will reappear. It will discolor a slightly different color from the heat treatment.

Amazing finds Kevin. They are awesome. You will have a tough time ever finding two better than that. You never know, could be one flea market away. lol

What a find. 😮

Heck of a find!! Masterful job restoring it also. I totally agree with you too. I wouldn't have polished the bolsters anymore either. That really small amount of pitting is what an 80-100 yr old knife is supposed to look like. Well done sir!!! Im so glad youre going to carry it too. Have a good one.

The background of the story is the country side in the north-east of the Netherlands, somewhere in the 20's or 30's, when land workers were traveling from farm to farm to find work and earn some money. Here it is (I had to translate it from a dialact which is spoken in the north-east of the Netherlands and English is not my first language, so there will probably be spelling and grammar errors): On the other side of the bridge over the ditch stood a dog, a Dobermann, snarling and barking. Through my 8 year old eyes it looked like a monster. "Come, walk on!", my father said and he stepped upon the bridge. I followed him, with my eyes closed. The dog snarled and growled even harder and slowly walked upon the bridge, towards us. He was ready to jump. I quickly closed my eyes again. Suddenly I heard a splash. I opened my eyes and was afraid that my father fell into the water. But he stood there on the bridge and I saw him closing his knife, his razor sharp Herder, and put it back into his pocket. Beneath, in the ditch I saw the dead dog drifting. The water around it got red. Then I saw and heard the farmer, he was shouting and ran towards us. When he stood in front of my father he shouted: "What did you do with my dog?!" There was a moment of silence and then my father replied: "I'm here to get my salary for the past week." My father had worked the whole week at this farm to harvest potatoes. He continued: "And who thinks I will not get my earned salary, will also disappear in the ditch." My father had his eyes fixed on the farmer and the farmer turned pale. Then he turned and walked back to his farm. We followed him and in the kitchen my father got his salary. "There will be no work for you here anymore", the farmer said. I saw on the look of my fathers face that he didn't even want to work at this farm anymore. When my father died forty years later, my brothers and sisters had to divide the things he left. I wanted only one thing: his last Friedrich Herder knife, which now lays on the bottom of a copper box

I've always felt grinder wheels where to abrasive sometimes and can ruin the surface of certain metals. So i just use fine steel wool to polish up older knives or i will just let em set in some evaporust that stuff works wonders and it cleans em up real good but. My favorite wadding polish to use is Eagle One "Nevr-dull" it comes with a cleaning/ polish agent soaked into it and really shines up whatever ur cleaning. Its great on a bunch of metals brass, chrome, steel and more.
