Great job! I have one of these from 1942 for my Garand and I've been looking for a good way to try and get it back to a not-so-rusty condition without completely obliterating it with sand blasting. This method is really good. Keep making these vids!

Couldn't you have just taken the grip off and the put all the metal parts in a bucket of evaporust? Or is there a reason to not do that?

Afternoon... I'm wondering if any of the chemical "Rust Removers" might help with the residual corrosion left on your blade, and do you ever finish up with a good waxing? Thanks...

Did you buy a new release button for it, I never saw you remove one in the video, great video might find something to try this on

WD-40 is not an ideal chemical to use. CLP Break free is a much better chemical to use. CLP Break free preserves, cleans, and protects. WD-40 attracts rust over time. I will admit however that you did do a great job cleaning up this bayonet and saving a precious piece of history.

The WD-40 is all removed as the last step of this process: I wipe it down with window cleaner and then blast it with compressed air. So the WD-40 is being used as a rust remover cleaner and not as a protectant.

Thanks for the informative video. I acquired an UHF from 1942. By the way, you sound like Bruce Travis McGill (D-Day from ‘Animal House’)

Great video. I've had some success with placing smaller pieces in my brass tumbler. It saves a little elbow grease,and acts as a bit of a polisher too. BUT you have to be mindful to run it through a strainer so you don't lose any of the smaller bits. Again, great job!

On my channel I did something similar with a 1917 WW1 Bayonet. I used steel wool and a wire brush to get the rust off completely. Was that a mistake on my part? I've been told that it decreases the value but I didn't know at the time I was restoring it. I think it turned out fine anyway though. From 1917 but looks like its brand new!

There are two thoughts on this: mine is to remove and halt brown rust, but do not go down to shiny metal. Then there are folks who think that the have to go down to shiny metal in order to make it look good - and yes that does result in something that worth less - sometimes far less - than something that has no brown rust but does have a black patina that has built up over the decades. This is not unique to bayonets and other sharp pointy things: Antiques Roadshow often has furniture that someone's dad has "restored." But the piece may only be worth 25% of what it would be worth if they had done nothing and just kept the original finish, faults and all. My goal, again, is to stop the spread of active brown rust and using scotch brite pads and soft brass brushes ensure I will not remove the patina. There is something even worse than going down to shiny metal: that's sharpening - you can wipe out 90& of a blade''s value by sharpening it.

Depends what you want it for, as an investment keep as original as possible, without letting it rust away, for display purposes you might want to show it at its best and restore to that.

Knife man, I have a question. I bought an m1 bayonet off eBay (40$) and foolishly removed the patina, it’s meant to be a Christmas gift to someone that thinks world war 2 is cool, but doesn’t care that much about the antique look. I originally intended to gift it to him as a knife to be used and planned on sharpening it. Is this a good idea? Is there anyway I can put a patina back on the bayonet? If it’s a knife that’s going to be used for the utility of cutting things should I sharpen it and if I should then how can I go about doing it?

I'd say leave it alone - let the next owner decide. All I ever try to do is remove active brown rust and keep the blade edge "as is." I have never tried to reverse the look of shiny metal but I have no doubt the internet is full of recipes (I did recently use a internet recipe to put a patina on new copper).

ebay remains a good place to find the, but it's going to cost a lot more than if you found one at an estate or garage sale. But sometimes people selling them on ebay don't know what they have so it might get listed wrongly - say a bayonet being called something like "army knife."

An historic military blade typically will be worth more like this than completly refinished
