Its not about restoring Western G46 its the Historical Significance on where that knife has been and the great man who own it and sailing to all those Islands in WW2 and made it home safe love to know what ship he served on .... Mr Magdad that has to be one of your best Restorations to date .... Happy Easter take care see you next Sunday

@mercoid Год назад

Outstanding restoration MagDad! I was so excited the moment I saw the thumbnail as I instantly recognized this knife. I owned a knife of nearly the exact same pattern and era only mine was manufactured by the Cattaraugus Cutlery Co. NY. The pummel on mine was about 3x thicker and had crude checkering on the end, otherwise nearly identical to yours. You did a fantastic job overall and really saved the handle finish from blackening caused by the wet/dry. No worries! What a great piece of history this knife is. This is one of my favorite videos of yours.

@357magdad Год назад

I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I was pretty discouraged when the leather turned black. I'm glad it worked out in the end.

My grandfather worked for the Cattaraugus knife factory in Little Valley New York during WWII. He built the 225Q knives. They never used glue on the leather washers! They soaked the washers in a warm vat of ditsilled water overnight and used a 2 ton hand arbor press to install the washer tightly. They used Beeswax to polish the leather and some kind of leather cleaner that appeared as if it were made of Petroleum Jelly he said. He couldn't remember what the stuff was called. He told me to NEVER use glue on the leather washers!!!
