Hello folk! Today I have a new restoration that you haven't seen so far. A knife made from an ancient Caucasian dagger. Could you think of such a thing? I'm not, I accidentally got this object in my hands and of course I didn't let it go. I'm starting to restore!

So, a knife made from a dagger. This can be seen by the deeds that are characteristic of the dagger, as well as by the handle and by the holes. Fortunately, many daggers of different types have passed through my hands. First, I cleaned the surface of the knife from rust and dirt with a sandblaster.

Next, I adjusted the cutting edge and the back of the knife and moved on to polishing the blade. For sanding, I used sandpaper from 80-240 grit, and then manually from 360 to 1000 along with polishing paste. I did not remove all the pits and corrosion that remained after rust because the blade is already thin.

Due to the fact that the knife is made of a Caucasian dagger, I want to add ornaments in the Georgian style. This will be relevant, and it will also hide under iron oxide.

Surprise! It just can't be. Inside the valleys is twisted Damascus! It's just very cool. I.e. after etching in acid, all the beauty seemed. Great, in this case, we do everything in the Caucasian style. Hilt and scabbard.

For the handle, I chose beech, the type of handle is checkers. The scabbard is made of linden, also in the Caucasian style. After gluing and processing the scabbard, I glued and stitched them with natural thin leather and leather straps for wearing on the belt.
And yes, as usual, I made an interesting test for you. Please, don't forget to share this video! Thank you for your attention.

Sincerely, Alex. Thanks for attention!
Good luck and health to everyone! With best wishes, Alex!
