Restoration of a Very Rusty Bowie Knife with a Very Black Handle!

Today I have the third of the four knives that I bought at auction on my desktop.
For this knife, I chose a block of very black stabilized wood!
Recovery process:
Rust was removed from metal by electrolysis. Electrolyte made from soda and water. I set the current to 5-7 Amperes, and left it like that until the morning!
Then I just had to wash off the dark coating.
This knife had a rather unusual handle, and I had to divide a block of wood into four parts.
Then I glued everything together using epoxy glue. After the glue had dried, I processed the handle on a grinding wheel, and then a lot of work with a rasp and a file.
In the end, I cleaned the handle with sandpaper, I used from 240 to 2000 grit. Then covered with Kornauba wax and polished with a felt wheel.

I really liked the result, I hope you do too.
There are many more cool and interesting videos on the channel, I will be grateful if you watch some of them!

Good luck to you all and take care of yourself!

See you next week!
Best regards Max!
