Download "Knife Restoration [Purpleheart Handle With Violet Epoxyd Liner]"

I have again used a new type of wood in the restoration of this rusty knife: Purple Heart. The special thing about this wood is, as the name suggests, that it is purple. Unfortunately, the old handle could no longer be used. I cleaned the blade from rust and polished it, but a little bit of pitting is still visible at the end because I could not grind the blade any further; otherwise, it would have become too thin. To restore the old knife, I had to drill, grind, file, remove rust and glue. I found this old hand tool again on a flea market internet site and really wanted it. Please be sure to also note that this video is not just to quickly show someone how something works, but also to relax and escape from everyday life! ▶ What did I do ?! ◀ The knife was badly rusted, so I used rust remover spray and a screwdriver to remove the coarse rust. I removed the remaining rust with a bath of rust remover. Then I used a belt sander to create the rough contour. In the hardening furnace, I heated the blade to 800 °C and quenched it in an oil bath, then tempered it three times at 200 °C for one hour. The surface of the old knife was then polished. I made the liner between the two halves of the handle myself using epoxy resin and purple paint. The two pins that hold the handle together were made on the lathe from brass. I used files to shape the two halves of the Purple Heart into their final form. The last step was to glue everything together, rub the handle with linseed oil varnish and sharpen the blade. ▶ Good to know ◀ I used the following tools: Screwdriver, pliers, angle grinder, tweezers, rust remover spray, wire brush, random orbital sander, screw clamp, belt sander, hardening oven, immersion heater, oil, forging pliers, oven, polishing stand, polishing paste, hot glue gun, epoxy resin, epoxy resin paint, hot air gun, knife, lathe, lathe chisel, hacksaw, drill, pen, Japanese saw, sandpaper file, two-component glue, cotton swab, spatula, linseed oil varnish, sharpening stone ▶ Special thanks to my channel members! ◀ - ▶ Do you want to support me? ◀ Would you like to become a channel member?
