Knife Restoration [Very Rusty Old Bayonet]

An old rusty knife is the object in this restoration video with ASMR. The bayonet was in a very bad condition and I had to do a lot of rework, respectively restoration here. I had to remove rust (with electrolysis), weld, grind, file, drill, polish, turn on the lathe, glue and more. ▬ What did I do ?! ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ The knife was extremely rusty, so I used rust remover and a screwdriver to remove the coarse rust and electrolysis to remove the rest. Subsequently, I welded and ground the very deep pitting. I continued this restoration by hardening the blade and grinding it with sandpaper to 1200 grit and then polishing it. I also had to restore the handle for the most part by welding and grinding it. The new handle scales are made of oak, which were perfectly matched. For this I had to turn small bolts of brass on the lathe. Finally, everything was glued together and the shiny bayonet was ready. ▬ Good to know ▬▬▬τ
