RARE Dagger Restoration - HOLY GRAIL from World War 1
์์ค ์ฝ๋
- ๊ฒ์์ผ 2022. 07. 08.
- Restoration of A REAL Italian Arditi trench dagger from WW1. For me it is one of THE HOLY GRAILS. It is VERY uncommon to find a knife from 1915 in such a beautiful condition. See me restore this knife with respect.
ABOUT THE WW1 TRENCH DAGGER
I got this dagger donated from one of my Italian subscribers who have seen some of my other World War restorations videos. He told me that this is a Piemonte National Guard knife from around mid 1800 who was shorten down to be effective in the trenches during the battle of WW1.
So this dagger has most likely belonged to an Italian โArditiโ from Royal Italian Army elite special force of World War I. They were the first modern storm troops and they have been defined as "the most feared corps by opposing armies". Italy fought as allied together with Serbia, Russia, France, Britain and the United States against Germany, Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria, and the Ottoman Empire who together formed the Central Powers. For me it feels like Iโve been giving the holy grail. Thank you so much.
ABOUT THE RESTORATION
I started by removing some of the corrosion from the brass so I could figure out how to disassemble the knife. The knife blade and the handle were in unreal good condition with only minor damage to repair. I started sandblasting the knife blade and MIG welded a reinforcement in the upper side of the blade cause the upper part was in really bad shape.
I also repaired a big crack which went thru both sides of the tip on the dagger. I choose TIG welding for this job to have more control because the metal was fragile. I grinded the knife blade and hardened the metal and made it all look as good as possible, without compromising the original trench build from WW1.
The beautiful old dagger handle got a gentle sandblasting too. There was a big hole on one of the quillons that I choose to fill up with solder. I had to grind with my smallest files to make this look good. That repair came out really nice.
For me this could easily be one of my best restorations. So epic and so satisfying to get my hand on such a historical and well conserved relic. I did this repair as lightly as possible without overruling the beautiful old look.
So Iโm very pleased with this restoration video and I really hope that you like it too.

The "I used to be a dentist" comment was perfectly timed, as that is exactly what I was thinking! People don't realize that a good dentist is also a skilled craftsman. Fantastic restoration as always!
๐น๐น ha ha .. glad that you could see the humor in that comment ;-) Thanks for watching
Skilled Craftsman, skilled torturer... I can see the confusion.
I fully support it! ๐
@@CL-we8tn Or, depending on the circumstances and the dentist, skilled extortionist, perhaps?
Yes, my current dentist always comments how beautiful all my gold crowns are, done by my old dentist (whose practice he took over after my old dentist retired).
I am quite positive, the soldier who once owned that, couldnโt even conceive over one hundred years later, someone would be restoring his knife, and people from around the world could watch on their hand held phones or computersโฆ you are truly an artist and a craftsman. Thank you
Thank you so much for your comment I really appreciate it ๐
Odd how sections of the unrestored knife have bright shining untarnished metal. Looks like he attached the knife to a string and half-submerged it in a tank of water for a few months
This guy is a good guy bro this is a nice comment
If he once told somebody that his knife will be restored by the craftsman from talking mirror, then he would have been burned at the stake))
Restored it yes ๐คฃ and lost all it monetary value by cleaning it nobody would give ten percent of it actual value now
The blade is in incredible condition! It's almost like someone bought the blade then accelerated the rusting on it....
Yes it very well preserved but absolutely not perfect. If you take a closer look there are ALOT of dents in the blade. ๐
I was thinking this same thing ๐
1:20 cโmon man i was trying to sleep and got jumpscared
sorry ๐๐
Obscuring the sparks from the welding torch was such a nice act, Iโm watching this at night so I appreciate it!
Thank you for bringing back to life such a precious piece of history from my country!
Glad you enjoyed it!
it's literally what made me subscribe to him....I can't stand to get white-eyed watching videos.
I appreciate the protection of my eyes as well.
The camera already filters out the bad light from our eyes, I personally like watching welding because it's the one chance to really see something that usually can't be seen. But to each their own
Yeah, otherwise itโd basically be like, โOooooh, Iโm blinded by the lights!โ
gotta respect how he dulls out some of that bright spark so our eyes dont burn at 3 AM while watching
no problem ๐๐
@@AwesomeRestorations you are awesome for that
I was about to comment the same thing! :)
I love the fact it doesn't look brand new like out of the factory,after your amazing restoration it holds its history.
lol lil bit of a backhand compliment no? ur insinuating the restoration isnโt extremely high quality
@@sim392 you're just assuming things that aren't there man
I thot exactly the same. Making it look like fresh new would kill its history.
This is like every antique collector/dealerโs worst nightmare.
What matters is that most of it is still there, and the shape and look of it is exactly as intended.
Ruined a genuine piece
@@paulnewman3406 I am concerned that a 12 million view video, makes it financially worthwhile dipping an antique in acid and burying it in the garden for 6 months! The corrosion is WRONG, too uniform. Brass tends to de-zinc-ify over time becoming copper coloured, and steel pitts and edges are eaten away fast. That said it may be a modern repro, given the abuse and subsequent 'resto' there would be no patina after anyway. Just sad
As I get older, I find that it gets harder to find these beautiful items from the past. You brought it back to life and its incredible beauty put a smile on my face! Great work as always!
thank you so much David I appreciate it :)
Its a modern knife that he aged chemically .Possibly used vinegar and ammonia .That handle is a tell.
@@francissobotka8725 uniลกtio je starinu.
@@francissobotka8725 You're probably correct. The knife in the video looks nothing at all like authentic "arditi trench daggers" that show up on Google. The handle and blade profile are totally different.

So you were a dentist. I used to work for a retired forensic orthodontist typing up all of his cases. My husband tidied up his library, put it all in order, and I did his typing, coffee making and meals. He has no family, just himself. My kids and grandkids loved him.

What's very good about being a dentist, surgeon is that your hand is very steady, and that's very important while doing restorations, and stuff, especially for miniature things and writings or engravings. Awesome thing to have.

Imagine jumping inside the trenches carrying only that knife man the Arditi guys were crazy terrifying.
Le trincee del fronte italiano durante la prima guerra mondiale erano molto strette perciรฒ durante gli assalti era difficile usare la baionetta innestata sul fucile (che era troppo lungo) per questo gli Arditi preferivano usare un pugnale corto e la piccola mitragliatrice "Villar Perosa"
@@raimondonocco6623 TRANSLATION: The trenches of the Italian front during the First World War were very narrow so during the assaults it was difficult to use the bayonet attached to the rifle (which was too long) for this reason the Arditi preferred to use a short dagger and the small "Villar Perosa" machine gun
@@cjmarshall0221 AFAIK the Arditi were specialized in trench combat and you have to be drafted to be a member
@@giancarloespejo2223 Thanks. I didn't know that.
Arditi daggers were made out of bayonets though, most of them anyway. It's not unthinkable that some of them used different daggers, but the one in the video is definitely not the iconic dagger used by the Arditi.
What I like here is that the restoration is satisfying to see, and this legend cares about our eyes.
Thanks for watching and for your kind words I really appreciate it ๐๐
to be fair, that can't hurt our eyes, at all. In person, yes, it puts off an obscene amount of light that can damage your eyesight.... but the brightness from your monitor is only as high as your monitor is capible of showing, so like 1000 nit peak brightness for example. an arc flash is like 13.2 million lux, which is more or less interchangable with nits. so it's magnitudes brighter, but your monitor isn't capable of displaying 13.2 million nits so your eyes are in zero danger, though if you're watching in a pitch black room, and all of a sudden it goes all the way to peak brightness, it's uncomfortable lol.
@@ExarchGaming my sleepy eyes watching in pitch black in bed with the phone a foot away from my face definitely appreciate it. ๐คฃ

As an Italian I say that I am really proud of the courage of the Arditi, thanks again for having restored that dagger to its his splendor.
Thanks for watching and for your kind words I really appreciate it ๐๐
C'รจ poco da essere fieri, gli Arditi erano praticamente degli assassini che seminavano il panico fra le truppe austriache, intraprendendo azioni pericolose, sรฌ, ma abbastanza inutili ai fini della guerra. E non รจ un caso se dopo la guerra divennero tutti fascisti.
Iโm from New Zealand and all I could think of is โthis dagger was held by someone braver than we can comprehend this day and ageโ I admire their courage also and everyone else who gave their lives for us. โ๏ธ๐ณ๐ฟ
Amazingly restored. What a great piece of history you now have.
thank you so much :)
Here in Italy during WWI, they had shortened the sabers by creating these daggers, used by the "Arditi" (great-grandparents of the current Incursori), they jumped the trench to engage in the hand-to-hand duel, they were trained in the use of this white weapon, they did not fear death , they faced fear with courage in honor of the homeland, for this reason they were so feared, their purpose of victory and honor, was all in sinking this dagger into the flesh of the enemy, therefore friend in your hands you have a piece of history that surely has killed many enemies, currently the current raiders of the Italian Navy and Army possess such sidearms, however the dagger is also supplied to other non-special corps.
Wow, thanks for sharing your knowledge ๐
como duda, al recortar una bayoneta que medรฌa como 50 cm de hoja, debieron reconstruirle la " canaleta " que no llega a la punta de la misma. . . y quizas modificar uno de los dos gavilanes.
they feared death for sure

I wish KRplus restoration videos at the end showed how many hours went into each project. Amazing to see how much work and love these restorations receive!
right!!! like at the end would specify how many hours it took to do certain parts of it . and all total hours at the end . for example "the handle of this knife took ($$) amount of hours and ($#) many hours for the whole thing . " and I'm pretty sure alot of the people seeing that it took a certain amount of hour it would surprise them a hell of a lot . and maybe possibly make the viewers want to donate towards it .. so yea very good idea.
Ye like how long it took to get the "aged" look to come out just right
What a wonderful job! I can see a man with skills, it turned out a piece of art
thank you ricardo I am so happy you think so
I recently discovered your channel and, man, I gotta say, it's absolutely mind blowing.

I myself, was a soldier, long time ago in an anti aircraft missiles battery, known as SAMs, somewhere in Eastern Europe.
We received very high and tough training, we were an elite unit and I remember our big knifes attached to our AK 47. But your WW1 knife is indeed awesome!

I believe it was a dagger was for the national guard?
Iโm Italian. The name โArditiโ means โBraveโ. They were really brave soldiers. However that knife looks like more a National Guard knife, because the trench knife was simpler with a wooden handle (it would have been a shame using that piece in a trench).

With the blue coloured corrosion on the handle, it seems like the corrosion was facilitated by you.
Love the detail and result! Super nice job!
I would have left the patina on the handle as was, with a mould taken from a clean handle you could cast as many as you want all identical. The crystalline oxide on that handle was something truely unique.
And surly created by artificial means. Natural oxidation is rarely that consistant.

Ummmmm, now if the owner wanted to paint it that would be ok. But that pretty blue stuff isnโt a good thing for the metal itโs covering.
@@soulsearcher117 Looks similar to Copper Chloride, almost as it it was grown with a "create your own crystal" kit....
Cool knife, but the beer fridges in the workshop are awesome! Itโs amazing how being able to see whatโs in the fridge increases the โcoolโ factor big time! ๐
thank you so much I am glad you liked it :) cheers ๐ป
@Awesome Restorations Hi! What solution did you soak the dagger in (& for how long) to build up the uniform, dirt-free oxidation?
Incredible Job you did there, my late great grandfather had one which looks almost indentical to this. Keep up the good work
Excellent work!
Thank you for sharing this.
I really appreciate that there are craftsmen like yourself who are restoring these relics from WW I.
Thank you very much!

I doubt the authenticity of the content in this upload. The knife has the appearance of being deliberately โagedโ by artificial means.
Yup that's the first thing I noticed just by the thumbnail of the video. The rust is all so uniform even across the different metals. Definitely not an authentic video.
I'm totally with you on this one. The totally uniform corrosion makes it super obvious.
I concur, the brass is a massive giveaway. If it had been in the ground or conditions to cause that much oxidation naturally, the crystal structure of the oxide would have been mixed with dirt, denser whilst being uneven and patchy, not big fluffy crystals.
I agree , the โrustโ on the blade is very flaky..I think itโs just been suspended in vinegar fumes !
WOW, just WOW! This blade turned out beautiful & once again another outstanding video.
thanks a lot David I really appreciate it :)
Very glad to be among the first who put a like and comment on AR, nice to see your awesome work
Much appreciated! ;-)
The skill ,the patience ,the dedication, your work is awesome man.
thanks so much
Nice work. Great to see a piece of history preserved. I have all ways had a interest in Italian weapons from both world wars.
thank you so much for your comment ๐
What an incredible find, that is a work of art, beautiful knife/dagger, amazing restoration.
Thank you kindly
This WW1 Trench dagger looks beautiful. You did the restauration extremly well.
thank you so much :)
@@AwesomeRestorations it's awesome how you can restore Things that Others would just throw away
Always beautiful craftsmanship! Thanks for sharing your talents and expertise.
thank you Toby for your kind words :)
Amazing and beautiful work!!!
thank you very much
The sound and ambient are totally great in this video as well as the work itself ๐
thank you I am glad you think so
Did you add the woodpecker sounds?
It is so satisfying to see a true master at work. When someone knows exactly what to use and is so comfortable using the vast array of tools at his disposal it's a privilege to watch. You've got to have more than a decade of experience at least.
thank you so much for your kind words Joe :)
I agree but the weld on the tang makes it a risk to hit something hard with. Forged in fire would put it to the test!
What a show! It's amazing! Thanks for your great efforts! Real spirit of the winner๐ช
Thank you very much!
One of the most beautiful work of restauration that I have seen.
Thanks ๐

I let out an audible "wow" when I saw you use a dim circle over the weld, that small touch earned you a subscriber. I can't tell you how many times I have been blinded by welds on yt, thank you for your effort in these videos :)
thank you so much for your comment and for watching :)
