Video Description

Hello! This is a restoration of a soviet hunting knife. I bought it at a flea market, the condition is below average. The handle is broken, the brass backplate is lost. Blade adjustment and sharpening are required. Firstly, I took the knife apart. I put all the parts in a sandblaster and cleaned them with sand. After that, I started to sanding the knife by hand, but very carefully so as not to damage the number and decor on the blade. Also, I polished the brass parts by manually highlighting the ornament on the bolster and guard. I restored the handle of the knife with glue, dry welding and also added liquid epoxy resin mixed with sawdust. I made a new brass back cover, etched a moose on the back side and decorated it with decor. Furthermore, I also adjusted the blade of the knife and sharpened it. The scabbard is made of genuine leather of medium thickness. As usual, I conducted an interesting knife test for you. Sincerely, Alex. Thanks for attention! Good luck and health to everyone!
