I restore a rusty Royal Navy pocket knife from WW2. This pocket knife restoration project was a great experience removing the rust and restoring it to its former glory. I pulled out my hand tools and rust removal gear. I hope you enjoy this vintage www2 knife restoration project.

    I have an almost identical pocket knife from 1940 that belonged to my Grand Father who was in the RAF. The thing most people might not realise is the sheer amount of wear on the knife blade. Factory fresh the blade was straight, that curve is from decades of sharpening and use.

    I like old things especially when they are brought back to look new again. Thanks for a great job!!!
  • Very nice restoration. When I was a kid in the UK back in the 50's it was every schoolboys dream to own a "Jack Knife". To my knowledge the knife was never used for felonious activities, just for bragging rights. The marlin spike was also know as an implement for getting stones or mud from horses hooves. Not much use to me in London. Excellent video.

    Great restoration. I was issued one when I joined the Royal Navy in 1970 and still use it today, it's a very handy tool to have at hand. Thanks for sharing.
  • I’m so glad you kept the plastic cover. So many others would have thrown it away and used something else. There’s a fair chance this was used during the war being 1942. Great work. Cheers Stuart 🇦🇺

    I have one and it is very beautiful. A person from the United Kingdom gave me one. I still keep it and store it well so that it does not get damaged and remains as a souvenir. 😊

    Браво ! Это не только нож,но и маленький памятник золотым рукам Мастера-реставратора !...
  • My Dad had a small black knife that he used throughout the years. He used it for trimming his nails and cleaning out his pipe. The knife may have been during WW1, if not, I’m sure it was in the 50s and 60s. I would love to see a WW1 knife. You restored this one beautifully!

    My french/brittish stepfather gave me a rigging knife when I was about 7. Very similar. I'm almost 60. Great job
  • Your attention to detail is incredible!! Love your craftsmanship!
  • @outlawflyer7868
    Man, that just brought back memories. I remember my grandpa had one of these knives in his toolbox. Never knew what that poky thingy was used for till now.
  • @minimoog4236
    Wow, I had the almost identical knife - only it had a straight blade. Nice job.
  • @markknott9011
    Again another beautiful restoration well done fella,I have my grandfather's knife he had in the war and still use it today.
  • @noordcop1
    I got exactly the same knife in 1978 when I joined The Royal Netherlands Marine Corps. Still got it.....

    Glad you showed what that horn was for! I couldn't wrap my head around why or how that was needed! Now I know!
