Today I have an old hunting knife for restoration.
This is a knife of one of four in the lot that I purchased!
There is one oddity, none of these knives have a handle, although there are pins for mounting!

Restoration process.

I used electrolysis for rust removal, I used a steel plate as an anode, and the knife itself was the cathode!
For the handle I chose a block of stabilized wood (our craftsmen make them of amazing beauty!!!). In this state, the wood is much harder and denser than a regular bar, thus my new handle will be ETERNAL)))!
I also used a special spacer for knife handles (G10, 1 mm).
I assembled everything with epoxy glue, during assembly I lost my nail on the finger of my left hand (do not try to twist something with a screwdriver if this part is in your palm), could not work for two days, and then completed the processing of the handle.
I treated the handle with wood oil, hand polished it with a cotton ribbon, and was amazed by the beauty of the stabilized wood!!!

I really liked the result, I hope you do too.
There are many more cool and interesting videos on the channel, I will be grateful if you watch some of them!
