alright Sup Forums legit question here. I found this nice knife in a lake bed and I cleaned it off a bit. I was wondering if anyone knows a way to really get into it and make it shine.
Alright Sup Forums legit question here. I found this nice knife in a lake bed and I cleaned it off a bit...
it looks like it was thrown in the lake recently
id throw that piece of shit back in the lake
That is a nice knife! You're very lucky to have found it.
dude go to youtube, ive watched many restoration videos there
>hold blade over flame for >2 min
>hold under tap, cold water full force
>???
>profit
>yellow plactic
It's dollar store garbage.
The metal you can easily clean with a wire-wheel on a grinder.
Prol;ly cost you less to buy an identical knife new than to buy a wire-wheel to clean that one with though.
doesn't that make it explode
OP HERE I thought it was a nice knife. I hmjustvwanted to restore it so I could sell for some cash.
looks like it could either be really nice or a piece of shit. Ask an expert.
Nah, it'll make it a bit more brittle, but it'd hold an edge better. Try it.
stab youself with it and post shoe on head
Here are better photos
It's probably cursed, dude. Throw it back
...
Ask /k/ they are more likely to know

Is there any case of dredging knife and it is uncovered to have killed pigeon?
>yellow plastic
Or, you know, a myriad of other materials; Bone, Ivory (probably not), horn, enamel... even if it's something like Bakelite, it's something pretty nice.
probably used in a recent murder if anything.
send it to the poolease
and if you can't do so safely, get creative
Nice knife....? It looks like some cosplay type of shit. Fucking sperglord
To make it more accurate, put a scope on it.
You can see people up close and personal when you stab them
like a 'historic' would have that cut-out
anyways fag, c- job on the antiquing, the resin handle still looks new
Weird at the top. Is it actually metal or is it plastic at the top there?
>OP finds murder weapon
>OP cleans it up and keeps it
>it's not even that cool
put the blade in vinegar for a couple hours, then polish wit with a buff wheel or sponge if you really want it.
The handle looks kinda corny, though. Especially with the plastic insert.
I'd say 10 bucks at most when it was new, 5 bucks after cleaning and sharpening.
Britbong detected.
you're not allowed to carry a fucking screwdriver?

What the Queen doesn't know won't hurt her ;)

You've convinced me to get rid of my pocket broken bottle
>only cowards carry
Jesus fucking christ
lol
Worst lawyer ever. Since the kid wasn't killed, defining his hands as a deadly weapon is speculative and prejudicial and has absolutely nothing to do with the case at hand.
They truly are the most cucked people on the planet. Now I hope bongs unironically get conquered by Pakis.
>case at hand.
I see what you did there
Agreed, it's like the UK gov is just concerned about appearance of doing something about knife crime, so they try to shame everyone into making ceremonious gestures, even though the criminals don't give a fuck.
Pic related. It was sculpted from literally thousands of blades. Pissed me off to see a few historical pieces, a few WWII era weapons from both sides and what must have been antiques from as far back as the 19th century.
"assault with a deadly weapon" isn't an actual offence in the UK...
Sand paper. Start with 600 and move up. You will get a really good mirror finish if you take your time. After that clean it with a bit of windex. Make sure you clean off the Windex.
That's plastic.
The metal is cast, not forged.
That knife is straight off an assembly line in china.
Kek
Who the carries around a broken bottle outside a bar fight?!
>niggers
don't listen it'll make it explode
No such offence in UK.
More likely he got charged with ABH, but this was aggravated because he used force beyond what was deemed necessary to defend himself.
That statue is metal as fuck. Who fucking cares if there were crusty old blades in it? It'll just drive up the prices of the shit you covet.
If someone threatens your life with a knife, pretty much any level of force is justifiable to defend yourself.
>Amerifats chimping out because Britbongs trying to reduce knife crime by taking knives off the street.
>Amerifats ban sale of Kinder chocolate eggs because they're "too dangerous"...
this may come as a shock to you, but the us is filled with hundreds of millions of people, many of whom have different opinions on a variety of topics
Don't fuck with food!
I was was talking about the Amerifats contributing to this thread. I realise that there's a lot more of you over there, many of whom can't contribute to threads like this because they're too poor to access the internet, or because their religion doesn't allow them to use it.
i dont know why but i get the feeling you are indian
Nope I'm a fully trained toilet owner/user.
His gf cheated on him with an American.
Lying little cunt.
Looks a bit like ren far tier shit. Don't know if it would honestly be worth the effort.
Then his gf was a tasteless bitch and he better off without her, lardy boy.
try leaving it in coca cola for a couple of hours
CLR to clean off the crud
Take a dremmel or a polishing wheel to the blade.
Take a sharpening steel and a sharpening stick to the edge.
Covalent bonds between molecules in metals are very strong, temperature alone won't cause an explosion
You are allowed to carry screwdrivers
Jesus Christ, one image is all you need to arrive at that stupid fucking conclusion? You people are actually retarded
The "Try it." Just screams "IM TWELVE. DO WHAT I SAID SO I CAN LAFF." You're a shit troll, man.
i am . thats not me
Saved. Then rotated and resaved. Thanks, user.
You're a less shit troll, but still an idiot for trying to get someone to do a literal meme. You gonna tell him to clean it by "growing crystals" next?
>Covalent bonds in metals
Maybe you should take a high school chemistry class before you try to bullshit online
Yes it will make it explode
OP go to a fucking YouTube video or something, this is the site that got people to microwave their phones to "recharge" them and tells people to mix ammonia and bleach to "make crystals" pretty much anywhere is better than here
soak the blade in vinegar works great for tools
Could have been used in a crime. Or just a fishing knife that fell into the water before it dried up.
no
I actually used to have this same knife when I was a kid haha. The eagle is like a cheap metal and the yellowy parts are plastic. the blade chipped and broke after one time being dropped on concrete. Its a POS.
actually the acid could eat away alot of the shit on the blade if diluted so it would work somewhat
you know that it's probably been used for a murder if someone threw it in a lake.....
soak it in coca cola over night
no retard. that's how you harden steel
gives it more character.
actually how you harden steel it heat it up till it is orange to yellow glow wise the cool it off in peanut oil that that level of glow cant be gotten by a candle or lighter you would need charcoal a hair dryer and some refractory bricks to make a simple forge in the ground doing it the way the comments says would cause the blade to experience temperature shock and make it explode in worse case and best case the blade would be unusable
Put it in coke a cola for a 1 hour or more then scrub
you do NOT quench at yellow
Bro I bought the exact same one from a storage unit sale twenty bucks. Pretty nice but definitely not worth anything at all
