Restoration Rusty Knife - For What the Round Edge?

Video Description

Today, I’m restoring an old rusty knife that I found at a flea market. What caught my attention was its unusual rounded edge — quite strange and unclear why a knife would have that. The steel is of good quality, though the condition was poor. Time to restore that. First, I removed the old, cracked, and rotted handle. Then I placed the knife into a rust remover for several hours. After that, I soaked it in warm water with baking soda to neutralize the acid effect. Next came the cleaning process. I started with a soft wire brush to make sure there was no stamps, then moved on to light sanding. I wasn’t aiming for a polished shine — just to clean the surface and remove light corrosion. After sanding, I worked on shaping the edge. I corrected the bevels by hand and gave it a light sharpening. Then I turned to the handle. I used dry wood, but unfortunately, the first piece cracked during shaping. I switched to another piece of seasoned wood, and this time it worked out. Once I carved the slot for the tang, I added brass and leather elements. Everything was assembled using epoxy resin and secured with an extra pin. After drying, I shaped the handle by hand, treated it with linseed oil, and sealed it with a brass pin. I also decided to make a simple leather sheath — not full scabbard-style, but more of a storage cover. I used medium-thickness leather, cut out the shape, glued and stitched it, finished the edges, and treated it with linseed oil. And finally — the test! It’s going to be a delicious one, so don’t miss it. A separate link will take you to the cooking video. Please share this video. Thanks.
