Restoration of A REAL Italian Arditi trench dagger from WW1. For me it is one of THE HOLY GRAILS. It is VERY uncommon to find a knife from 1915 in such a beautiful condition. See me restore this knife with respect.
ABOUT THE WW1 TRENCH DAGGER
I got this dagger donated from one of my Italian subscribers who have seen some of my other World War restorations videos. He told me that this is a Piemonte National Guard knife from around mid 1800 who was shorten down to be effective in the trenches during the battle of WW1.
So this dagger has most likely belonged to an Italian “Arditi” from Royal Italian Army elite special force of World War I. They were the first modern storm troops and they have been defined as "the most feared corps by opposing armies". Italy fought as allied together with Serbia, Russia, France, Britain and the United States against Germany, Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria, and the Ottoman Empire who together formed the Central Powers. For me it feels like I’ve been giving the holy grail. Thank you so much.
ABOUT THE RESTORATION
I started by removing some of the corrosion from the brass so I could figure out how to disassemble the knife. The knife blade and the handle were in unreal good condition with only minor damage to repair. I started sandblasting the knife blade and MIG welded a reinforcement in the upper side of the blade cause the upper part was in really bad shape.
I also repaired a big crack which went thru both sides of the tip on the dagger. I choose TIG welding for this job to have more control because the metal was fragile. I grinded the knife blade and hardened the metal and made it all look as good as possible, without compromising the original trench build from WW1.
The beautiful old dagger handle got a gentle sandblasting too. There was a big hole on one of the quillons that I choose to fill up with solder. I had to grind with my smallest files to make this look good. That repair came out really nice.
For me this could easily be one of my best restorations. So epic and so satisfying to get my hand on such a historical and well conserved relic. I did this repair as lightly as possible without overruling the beautiful old look.
So I’m very pleased with this restoration video and I really hope that you like it too.

Here in Italy during WWI, they had shortened the sabers by creating these daggers, used by the "Arditi" (great-grandparents of the current Incursori), they jumped the trench to engage in the hand-to-hand duel, they were trained in the use of this white weapon, they did not fear death , they faced fear with courage in honor of the homeland, for this reason they were so feared, their purpose of victory and honor, was all in sinking this dagger into the flesh of the enemy, therefore friend in your hands you have a piece of history that surely has killed many enemies, currently the current raiders of the Italian Navy and Army possess such sidearms, however the dagger is also supplied to other non-special corps.

@andrewgray1949 3 месяца назад

@@paulnewman3406 I am concerned that a 12 million view video, makes it financially worthwhile dipping an antique in acid and burying it in the garden for 6 months! The corrosion is WRONG, too uniform. Brass tends to de-zinc-ify over time becoming copper coloured, and steel pitts and edges are eaten away fast. That said it may be a modern repro, given the abuse and subsequent 'resto' there would be no patina after anyway. Just sad

C'è poco da essere fieri, gli Arditi erano praticamente degli assassini che seminavano il panico fra le truppe austriache, intraprendendo azioni pericolose, sì, ma abbastanza inutili ai fini della guerra. E non è un caso se dopo la guerra divennero tutti fascisti.

to be fair, that can't hurt our eyes, at all. In person, yes, it puts off an obscene amount of light that can damage your eyesight.... but the brightness from your monitor is only as high as your monitor is capible of showing, so like 1000 nit peak brightness for example. an arc flash is like 13.2 million lux, which is more or less interchangable with nits. so it's magnitudes brighter, but your monitor isn't capable of displaying 13.2 million nits so your eyes are in zero danger, though if you're watching in a pitch black room, and all of a sudden it goes all the way to peak brightness, it's uncomfortable lol.

@kejsazizolli3608 Год назад

"Ardit" that sounds like an albanian name. its possible he was arbëresh or from calabria

@anonomuse9094 Год назад

@@kejsazizolli3608 not "ardit" dude. They were the Arditi. They fought in the french alps in ww2, wearing heavy iron bulletproof armor while still climbing up the mountainside. They also used heavy machine guns. Italy was not on the side of the Germans, then known as the Ottoman Empire, during WW1. Theres a campaign level from Battlefield 1 that shows basically how the Arditi worked.

@rainyatsu4588 6 месяцев назад

I like this type of restoration better then a lot of other channels. Yes the artifacts are cleaned, repaired, and made functional again but you can still see tiny details in it that clearly indicate it’s old. Some other channels go so far in the restoration process that the objects look like they came out of an assembly line yesterday with none of their original soul.

@AwesomeRestorations 6 месяцев назад

thanks for your comment. It is not easy to say what it the right way but I like to maintain some of the patina of the objects I restore :)

It is so satisfying to see a true master at work. When someone knows exactly what to use and is so comfortable using the vast array of tools at his disposal it's a privilege to watch. You've got to have more than a decade of experience at least.

I agree but the weld on the tang makes it a risk to hit something hard with. Forged in fire would put it to the test!
