Emerald Handle for this Old Rusty Knife! Beautiful Restoration.

Today I have an old knife on my desktop!
I really liked its shape and therefore I decided to make a very beautiful and bright handle for it.

Restoration process:

First, I cleaned the metal of the knife from rust. For this I used electrolysis. After that, I drilled a hole in a wooden block with a diameter equal to the width of the blade shank. Then I divided the block into three parts using a miter saw. Then I planted all three parts of the handle on the shank of the knife, and inserted metal rings between the parts - part of the decor.
After the epoxy hardened, I sanded the handle on a belt sander that I made from what I found in my garage (I'm sure anyone can build such a machine)

Having removed all unnecessary with the help of a belt grinder, I continued to work with hand tools - rasps and files. After giving the final shape, I only had to sand the handle with sandpaper. I used grit from 60 to 2000 grid. Then polished with wood oil.

I really liked the result of my work, and I hope you will like it too (I didn’t ask for a like in the video itself, but still, if it’s not difficult, please put it, so you will help promote my channel).

Thanks for watching and for your response!

Good luck to you all and take care of yourself!

See you next week!
Best regards Max!
