    I still have a survival knife from childhood. My father won it as a safety award when he was working in the coal mines when I was in WV. I've had that thing since I was around 11 years old.
  • It’s extremely cool seeing both stainless steel and aluminum corrode identically. 😂
  • @WolfysMagic
    This is so cool, not long ago i fixed up one of these as a gift for my grandpa, it was something his dad had before he passed so i made sure it would last many years to come for him. Nice to see so many people have fond memories of this knife
  • I love watching you save old forgotten things. You are very patient and talented. Thank you for sharing.
  • @Birchwood1976
    I just thought I'd mention, there's also suppose to be two round key rings that go on the threaded portion before you screw the butt cap back on, those are your handles for when you need to use the wire saw. 👍
  • My brother had a survival knife like that. Kind of nostalgic seeing one being restored.
  • @albundy5228
    This knife brought back a lot of memories. Back when kids could have stuff like this and replica guns to play with. Thank you! Awesome restoration!
  • @munk237
    Definitely brought back memories for me. Growing up in the 80s you saw these everywhere. Came with a cool sheath with a whetstone too.
  • @NickeSw
    Love this! I think I had exactly this model as a kid 😊 There was also a black leather look alike sheet with at way to coarse grind stone on the front.
  • @JohnnyBeesh
    i had one of these as a kid too - lots of great memories. Don't forget to add the two key rings under the compass and fitted over the threads on the handle (that's why there's a gap). They're used in conjunction with the saw. They keyrings fit in the small loops at either end of the saw. Great restoration!! i love the finish on the handle.
  • @David-j1x
    "Oh shoot, oh crap!". Words, and variations of, said many times in many workshops. Beautiful restoration.
  • Your transitions for the clamp are so smooth and the restoration process is so satisfying. Love your vids! 😊
  • I am really impressed with the liquid compass restore. I thought for sure you were going to have to replace it. Excellent work!
  • @HickSquatch
    Very cool!!! Nostalgic for me also! The intact survival kit is crazy!!! I really appreciate the hand work reshaping the threads and just bringing it back!
  • Pretty sure I had this exact knife growing up. Cheaply made but I loved it. I definitely remember it had the floating compass and the steel cable inside to cut small branches. Seriously takes me back I had forgotten what exactly was inside. So weird how it brings back so many memories of my childhood that thought I had forgotten. Thanks for doing this restoration man!
  • I remember begging my mother to buy me this knife. It was painted camo. She did buy it for me but my father would never let me sharpen the blade. No idea where it is today. The Rambo survival knife. Excellent restoration! Thank you!
  • @martial_matt
    My brother had one of these Rambo knives, I now have it since he didn’t want it. And yes it still has the matches and fishing line in the handle of the compass. It was kept in its sheath so it’s still in good condition and I’m glad I never let it rust. Seeing this restored is awesome!
  • This was fun to watch. I had one of those as a kid and restored mine a few years ago. Thanks for the vid
  • @Calebt1981
    My dad has this knife when I was a kid. Definitely a nostalgic video for me!
  • I’m addicted to your videos! Absolutely love your work.. what an amazing restoration! Well done!.
