Extremely Rusty WW1 Pocket Knife Restoration (Haunted House Find)

Restoration of a very old, rusty Okapi / Navaja style Pocket Knife from a Haunted house in Sheffield England.

I do my best to create a beautiful finish on this old tool and add an elegant Yew wood handle. See the fresh outcome!

Some of the Processes in this restoration include Electrolysis, Sanding, Sharpening, Buffing, Polishing, grinding, cutting, sawing, slicing.

THE KNIFE
The style seems to be similar to that of the traditional Navaja type Spanish Knives but I cant tell for sure as markings were rusted away. I've been told that The French and germans made these 'Ring pull' knives, inspired by the Navaja after the French Troops returned from the Peninsula Campaign around the time of Napoleon. It was found in a dilapidated, rotting old house, lived in by a man who was purported to be insane. He boarded up all of the windows of his own home at least 30 years ago and lived like a squatter on the wooden floor of one of the rooms in the house.

The knife lay beside a cut throat razor and a 1907 pattern WW1 British Bayonette in a similar state of disrepair.

The blade and spine are extremely pitted but there's still live in it yet!
