Hello folks! Today I am restoring a very old object. This is the Turkish saber Kilij. This saber is similar to shamshir and ottoman sword. Of course, for almost 200, and maybe more years, he has lost a lot of weight, rust has eaten a lot of metal. The object was found during the cultivation of the land in the mountainous region of my country. Of course, the task is difficult, but I will try to bring him feelings. The item goes to a private museum for viewing! Well, lets start restoration!
First, I placed the blade in a rust remover, after a few hours I washed and dried it. Some of the rust remained, I removed it with an iron brush. What was left of the cutting edge, I tried to straighten and round off so that it would not cling and scratch. I cut the hilt of the saber from a thicker piece of steel and welded it.
After metalworking, he moved on to creating the very handle of the sword. The material at the request of the customer was chosen old dry boxwood, the tree is capricious, but if there is a task - it must be done. I fixed the handle with epoxy resin and three rivets.
After processing the handle, I moved on to creating a scabbard. I used wood for the scabbard, after manual processing I pasted it with thin natural dark leather and started creating brass fittings. I made the holder, the upper and lower glass.
The saber is certainly not sharpened, there is nothing to sharpen and the customer asked in advance not to sharpen it. But I did a test, and it turned out to be very fun! I hope you like it! Thank you for your attention, success and health to all!
Sincerely, Alex. Thanks for attention!
Good luck and health to everyone! With best wishes, Alex!
