In this video I'm restoring a World War 2 German bayonet which was used with Mauser K98 rifles. I found this bayonet myself on a WW2 battlefield with a metal detector. I tried to be as gentle as possible, I don't like taking too much metal off of historical pieces like this one.

I have two of these. One in good original condition and one that was broken, cut down and reprofiled into a knife. I carry the modified one often.

Заморочиться, шкурить, шпаклевать, снова шкурить, чтобы в итоге просто обоссать из черного баллона... Как сказано уже в комментариях, реставрацией не пахнет, помыл, маслицем полил и молодец. Сам являюсь обладателем такого штык-ножа, отсутствуют деревянные накладки ручки и кожаный элемент ножен. Если кто знает где можно найти под них выкройки или купить недостающие части - напишите пожалуйста.

Great job. It's not easy, but you did it.

@carlmcgee1623 Год назад

A fine restore on this one.

@marklammas2465 Год назад

If you don't have welding gear, it might be worth your while at some point to get someone to weld a small piece of steel to the tip, so that you can reprofile a new completely sharp tip on it. That, however, goes against the possibility of the tip having been broken in a battlefield fight, which is evidence of it having been used for its intended purpose, of course.

@soul_iron_restoration Год назад

I have thought of restoring the tip but decided against it. As you mentioned, the broken tip is indeed an evidence or a "battle damage". For me it makes the bayonet unique and adds some value.

@sensifarma6711 Год назад

You shouldn’t weld tips back onto blades or knives if ruins the hardening and tempering process plus it changes the internal structure and will be prone to break again you would be much better to reshape the tip an it wouldn’t cause any more damage

@williamavery9185 Год назад

@88SCHNEIDER Год назад

It can be much better with some weding, grinding and polishing and some new learher work, but is good enough

@soul_iron_restoration Год назад

Yes, but my goal was to keep the authenticity of the item. Welding, grinding and polishing would make it look like new, which is good in some cases. But with items like this I try more to preserve it rather than remake :)

@andrewbarron7690 Год назад

Thanks for your video. I was surprised about the damage to the bakelite grip. Do you think it was like the broken tip of the blade and happened during the war? I enjoyed viewing your work!

@soul_iron_restoration Год назад

Thank you! I believe it might have been broken during the war because the bayonet was found in the forest among other WW2 finds.

@Vishelvete Год назад

love this. I have one without the frog with the old school wooden handles. The scabbard has a dent in it near the base. Any good tips for fixing that?

@soul_iron_restoration Год назад

Thanks. The best way would be to make or find a metal bar that is nearly identical to the scabbard's inside shape and push that bar inside the scabbard. It would straighten the dent. You can also use a metal rod, fix it in a vice, push the other end inside the scabbard and carefully hit that dent with rubber/wooden hammer until the surface is smooth and straight and there are no signs of the dent. Either a bar or a rod have to be really smooth, otherwise it may make extra dents to the scabbard. You can also try with a wooden piece that fits the scabbard from the inside. And don't forget to remove the spring in the beginning. I hope I explained it well enough :)

@danielkiraly8761 10 месяцев назад

Hello! Can I ask what type of paint you used to paint the sleeve that won't chip off after a few months? Do you still have this bayonet? Hasn't the paint come off since then? You know, I have a Magyar FÉG 35M bayonet, the sheath of which was originally painted goosepoop-green, but mine was rusty, so I sanded off the rust and now I should paint it. I just don't know how to make it last.

@soul_iron_restoration 10 месяцев назад

Hi! Yes, I still have this bayonet and the paint is completely intact. I used Hardcore brand black matt spray paint but there're lots of suitsble paints out there. If your paint comes off it's either because of wrong paint or the metal being greasy/dirty. In any case you should clean before painting and i recommend to use the primer. It's much easier for the paint to hold onto primer than the bare metal. I didn't use one because I knew the bayo would be on a shelf at home and because the putty kinda works like primer too. Anyway, the paint on the sleeve seems strong. Good luck!

@danielkiraly8761 10 месяцев назад

@@soul_iron_restoration Thank you very much for your help! Helped a lot. May I ask the name of the resin-like substance you used to fill the rust pits?

@soul_iron_restoration 10 месяцев назад

Happy to help! :) The resin is called putty. It is widely used for car body repairings. You can find it in any tools/hardware or car-related stores. Look for those suitable for metal as some of them are for wood. The process of using it can be seen in this video :)

@alenalost2822 6 месяцев назад

What is that green stuff used to polish the nets?

@soul_iron_restoration 6 месяцев назад

That is a polishing paste. They come in different colours and different grits, just like sanding paper. From more robust to really fine. With the paste you can make the metal surface to be like a mirror. I used it to slightly refresh the look, it was a bit dull.

@alenalost2822 6 месяцев назад

@@soul_iron_restoration Thank You!

@alenalost2822 6 месяцев назад

Is there any other procedure than argon welding to restore the broken edge of the bayonet? Fludor soldering, for example? I don't use the blade to cut.

@soul_iron_restoration 6 месяцев назад

@@alenalost2822 You can definitely solder the holes and the edge and then file and sand to make the surface smooth. It's easier than welding. With welding you could get even black finish because the welds are also iron like the blade. Solder will remain white, it doesn't react with the blueing solution. You might want to keep your blade white too, then the solder won't be very visible

Excellent restoration! Do you happen to know if the bolster and the butt were pressed onto the plate or if the entire bayonet is made from a single steel piece? Merry Christmas!

@soul_iron_restoration Год назад

Thank you and Merry Christmas to you too! The bolster is pressed using two rivets and the butt seems to be inseparable so it's made from the same piece of steel as the remaining bayonet.

@jorisblankena9640 Год назад

If it is an original there should be ‘waffenambt’ markings on it. Look very closely and you will find them. (small eagle) on the tip of the casing for instance. Please let me know if you have found them. 👍🏼

@soul_iron_restoration Год назад

Hello, yes there are Waffenamt markings. Unfortunately my camera lens doesn't focus that close up. If you look closely, I tried to show them on the back of the handle grips after I cleaned them. At about 14:42. And I found several on the butt near the button as well.

@Paperghost Год назад

Seems like you went from conserving (the bayonet) to restoring (the scabbard) with a couple of scavenged parts thrown in. This type of project cries out for one or the other (conserve or refurbish). Interesting watching though.

Do you think it was left on the battlefield because it had a broken tip?

@soul_iron_restoration Год назад

Everything is possible, although it was and still is a crime to throw away military equipment. The soldier would've been punished for that. It was found on a battlefield where the Germans retreated rapidly from so possibly it was just lost.

The white iron was only inside the scabbard because it was somewhat protected from the oxygen. I don't need to prove anything, if u want then look up some WW2 metal detecting videos where they find bayonets like that and you will see exactly the same situation. There're lots of such videos on YT. Have a nice day!
