How To Recondition Knives
Posted on 10/6/13 at 9:11 am

My dad is giving me 3 knives he got in Iceland while in the Navy many many years ago. From the pics below you can see they're rusty so I'm looking for some good info on what the best method is to recondition them / remove the rust. Any tips/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Also, he's giving me a bayonet that his dad gave him (at top in picture). He said he thinks its from WWI or WWII, but is not realky sure. Is there anything I can look for to determine that?
TIA.

Those are some cool parangs. As for the bayonet. Is that the sheath it came with?

I would think that anything you do to them might make them flash rust if it was harsh. Might try calling a custom knife maker. They'll probably know what is the best thing to do on those specific types of steels

Those are bad arse. But I know nothing about reconditioning them

Reconditioning them will destroy whatever value they have as collectable knives. You would be better off properly preserving them in their current state.

Mother's Mag polish and terri cloth, maybe a dremel to get them really shiny.
