I bought a couple of new cleaning products for use in refurbishing knives. In this video I test WD40 Rust Remover Soak and Turtle Heavy Duty Rubbing Compound. I test these on a vintage Colonial Two Bladed Jackknife. Enjoy!
Thanks, Ronald. I spent time looking over the rust on the knife, and didn't realize it had blade wobble, etc. Oh well, another great knife to learn on. I appreciate you watching, my friend.
I didn't know either, GA. I just found it in a Fleet Farm store, and decided to try it out. Seemed to work pretty well. Thanks for watching, my friend.
Thanks for the share of this resto of this older knife. Turned out great. The new products seem to be working well (the curmudgeon in me says shoulda stuck with Ol'e No. 7 while enjoying a glass of Ol'e No. #7). The Mothers worked fine. I still think a pin up beauty should be on the container bottom as a reward.
I don't think it's so bad that you dented the bolsters. You did a great job with cleaning it up! And you need practice taking them apart, looks like you have one now. I'm glad the new products worked just fine for you. Have a great week!
If you want to some fun. Use a torch to heat the blade to orange. Place the blade between two iron stocks and hammer. This will straighten the blades. Use torch to heat blade to blue and quench. You'll straighten the blade without breaking it. And re temper it. Let the blade cool overnight before you reheat it.
The WD40 rust remover looks like a nice product. Is the ultrasonic cleaner water only? Can the rust remover be used in the ultrasonic? If so the results could be incredible! I have a feeling it is not designed for anything other than water. Also if the rust remover is flammable it would be a no go.
I only use warm water with Dawn Dishwashing liquid. I know there are commercial products that can be used, but my little mixture seems to do just fine. Maybe I'll try the rust remover some day. Thanks for watching, LCK!
Overall, another great cleanup, Tom. I'm curious. Why do you not use the ultrasonic sooner in the process? Would it not loosen some of the gunk before you start scrubbing it out? I have no experience with ultrasonic. Have a great day!😊
I use the Ultrasonic Cleaner to remove the results of my cleaning, such as grit from the sandpaper, polishing compound, etc. If I don't need to remove rust, etc, I would start with the cleaner. Having said that, you could start with the cleaner, then do the rust removal, put it back in the cleaner, then into mineral; and then repeat the steps as many times as you'd like. Hope this answers your question. Thanks for watching, PEDC.
@@knifedelights7473 it does, Tom. Thank you. I can see the value un getting the sandpaper grit out. That is always a big pain for me. Have a great day!
Man I sure enjoy your videos brother Tom. Knife looks great my friend. Thank you for the great content. Have a blessed day. Also, how many liters is your ultrasonic cleaner?
The grit varies depending upon what is needed. I use anything between 400 and 1000 grit. Usually the 1000 cleans out the compartment just fine. Thanks for watching, Tim!
Well, a few years from now I'll just tell folks that it is a "pinched" bolster from the factory! lol. Thanks for watching, Radar. I appreciate your support.
Its hard to give a recommendation when I don't know what the condition of the knife is, and what you plan on doing with it. If it needs extensive restoration, or even repair, I would suggest you go find a cheap knife, or knives, from an antique store to practice on. You don't want to do anything to harm such a valuable knife! Feel free to email me (channel name at gmail) with some pics and perhaps I can give you some better guidance.
Just stick to Flitz. You tried the rest and stick with the best. It basically does it all and the liquid Flitz goes a little further than the tube paste version does and works just as well and you don't need to use as much. Sorry Case Paste you ain't Flitz. Knife Doctor knows but he uses way more than what is actually needed on his stuff
