Restoration of an OLD and EXTREMELY rusty hunting knife in my 19th century workshop. I don’t know what happened to this knife, but it looks like it has been lost and spent a good portion of time underground.
About The Flora Pocket Knife
It is hard to tell anything about this knife since there are no markings on the antlers, guard, pommel or on the blade itself. It is medium in size, not too heavy and fits nicely in the hand.
The Restoration Process
I started by dismantling the knife. Place all parts in the vinegar overnight. Next day I cleaned brass and steel parts and grind the blade to remove deep rust pittings. Sanded the blade up to 1200 grit and polished the blade. I repeat the same process for brass parts.
Antler covers were generally in good condition. So I just washed them, polished them afterwards and connected them with copper pins.
At the end I assembled all the parts and finally I could see the results of this restoration. IT is truly a huge difference.
