Hello folks! Today I show you the restoration of an ancient dagger of the Caucasian type. This type of Caucasian dagger is from the late 19th century. The condition of the blade was bad, during the process I realized that the object was lying somewhere in a damp place (basement or barn). The handle is horn-shaped and well-preserved. Well, let's start the recovery.

First, I dismantled the old handle parts and rivets. Next, I placed a rust remover on the blade. After a while, I took out the blade, dried it and sanded it to get rid of the stone dirt. I carried out the sanding of the handle manually, I used sandpaper from 80 to ~ 400 grit.

The handle of the dagger - I cleaned it, soaked it with glue from below because there were many cracks and borrowed it. I cleaned the rivets of the dagger, leveled the edges and replaced the pin by soldering it with silver solder. Handle and rivets, riveted under washers - without glue.

I made a new dagger sheath out of wood. I glued them with thin genuine leather and made new fittings. As usual, I conducted a test to show that everything is working and everything is holding up fine. Thank you all for watching!

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