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.
вчера утром президент России Владимир Путин обратился за медицинской помощью с жалобами на резкое ухудшение состояния здоровья. Путин жаловался на сильную боль в голове, нарушение зрения, онемение языка и частичную потерю чувствительности правой руки и ноги. После оказания ему первой помощи президент прошел обследование, после чего консилиум врачей, которые имеют отношение к лечению президента и профильных специалистов, которых привлекли вчера к лечению Путина, назначили лекарства и рекомендовали как минимум пару дней полный покой. К полудню по московскому времени президенту стало значительно легче, а к вечеру состояние полностью стабилизировалось и не вызывало у медиков беспокойство. Больше обеспокоились близкие президента, для которых столь резкое ухудшение здоровья Владимира Путина вызвало нервную реакцию, больше похожую на панику. Несмотря на онкологию у президента и негативные прогнозы врачей, его близкое окружение и семья тешат себя оптимизмом и надеждами, что всё будет тянуться, чуть ли не вечно. Не обращая внимания на уговоры врачей и близких, глава государства отказался от рекомендованного полного покоя и уже вечером провел недолгое совещание с представителями руководства силового и военного блоков. Путину доложили положение дел на фронте. Он поинтересовался "успехами" и спросил когда будут "освобождены" Артемовск (Бахмут), Авдеевка и другие населенные пункты, которые были обещаны военным руководством. Услышав невнятные оправдания и перспективы, президент занервничал и завершил совещание. Ближе к ночи у президента опять заболела голова и приняв лекарства он отправился спать. Впереди у Путина непростая рабочая неделя и есть ряд мероприятий и встреч, пропустить или отменить которые будет проблематично. Использование двойника, как показывает практика, довольно эффективный, но не самый надёжный способ для президента решать вопросы с "личным" участием. Двойник временами выдаёт себя манерами, поведением и оговорками, так что президент зачастую должен находиться на подхвате, плюс бывают встречи, на которых Путин должен присутствовать лично и дублером, в таких случаях, не отделаешься. Временное резкое ухудшение состояния здоровья президента уже заставило ближайшее окружение напрячься. Внезапная смерть Путина поставит их всех перед неизвестностью, вернее на грань выживания, а на вчерашний день ни у кого из них не было даже примерного плана действий в таком случае.למרבית המבוטחים בקופות החולים קיימת פוליסת ביטוח סיעודי, אך שלא רבים מודעים לכך. בעזרת חברה למימוש זכויות רפואיות תוכלו לתבוע את הביטוח ולקבל סכומי כסף שיקלו מאוד על חייכם וחיי האדם הקרוב לכם אדם סיעודי יכול לפנות לכמה מחוזות לקבלת סיוע. זה מתחיל עם המוסד לביטוח הלאומי, שעשוי לספק לו שעות עבור מטפל אישי או סכום כספי בעל אותו ערך. סיוע משמעותי עוד יותר הוא הביטוח הסיעודי, שמשווק כיום בעיקר על ידי קופות החולים. גם חברות ביטוח עשויות להציע את הפוליסה החשובה הזו, אם כי בדרך כלל אלה פוליסות שנפתחו לפ זכאים לעיתים גם אנשים שמתפקדים בצורה סבירה."למרבה הצער, אין כיום מודעות מספקת לגבי ביטוחי הסיעוד הפרטיים. ברוב המקרים מדובר בפוליסות הנמצאות תחת קופת החולים, ורבים הרי בכלל לא מעניקים תשומת לב לדו"ח התקופתי שהם מקבלים מהקופה", מתארת אילנה בריסקמן - מומחית זכויות רפואיות בחברת לבנת פורן.

Good story.
Good for you
😮
@@muzamilhussainsyed1221 , yeah. I've had it for close to 40 years.
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. 👍
You beat me to making this comment.
Yup, any old key ring should work. It uses a standard size if its the same crappy $20 "Rambo" blade I had as a kid.
My cousin ruined mine while sawing down a Christmas tree. He promised to replace the rings but never did. Mine also came with a sheath and wet stone.
Led me to think
Ahr the good old days I was 13 when I got mine still have it in mint condition also bought two butterfly knifes one brass one steel sadly they never made it past my school years good times you could buy this stuff from a market
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
Your transitions for the clamp are so smooth and the restoration process is so satisfying. Love your vids! 😊
Lmao this idiot doesn’t know it’s fake
He should post a video about how he creates the fake corrosion.
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 is definitely not a Rambo knife. A lot of people don't know the origins of knives like these but associate them with Rambo because he made it popular. These survival knives came about in WW2, and during Vietnam, someone designed it with a hollow handle to store basic survival things, like matches. The serated part was for sawing through aircraft metal. Pilots were the first ones to have them.
Callate
@@NumquamDeorsum Wich makes it a Rambo knife. Just like a norwegian traitor is called Quisling. They might not be names Quisling, but he was a traitor in WW2 and so his name is what we call a traitor in Norway. But I guess 99% of people didn't really think this was actually called Rambo's knife when it came out way before Rambo was a movie.
I’m a fourteen year old and have one of these knives. It’s quite old, cheap. But I still love messing around with it (as responsibly as possible). The only downside to it is that I haven’t been able to find its sheath and I can’t seem to figure out what the knife is called in order to find a sheath for it. Do you know where I might be able to obtain one?
I found my old knife just today. Still has the little sharpening stone in the pocket on the sheath. Probably going to have to restore the blade like he did but the rest is still in good shape.
I am really impressed with the liquid compass restore. I thought for sure you were going to have to replace it. Excellent work!
I was surprised that he didn't replace it!

Water below 0 C is not good idea, water will turn into ice and brake the compass. Methanol or ethanol is very far better idea.
Hands down, one of the coolest knives I've ever seen.
I have one of these in my drawer, almost exact they do need to have a better edge put on them looks like he did that
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 recognized it as well. Not sure if I got to see the interior tho...
mine was a fishing kit, some baits, plus fish hook, nylon line and matches.
@@franciscoferreira-eh1yu I was also expecting to see a fishing line as mine had that inside. This really brings back memories. Man, I'm getting old c,") Edit: I watched more of the video and apparently there ware a fishing line in this one also. Guess we did have the full set then.
I TOO had one of these as a kid. Got it from my grandpa who just found it laying around in the shed and thought I’d get more use out of it. RIP poppop
Me Too!!! Best Thing I ever bought as a kid...
It’s extremely cool seeing both stainless steel and aluminum corrode identically. 😂
Are you saying… oh.
Yeah!
@@willenholly- I don't get it...
Pumpkin eater spotted
So what does that mean?
My brother had a survival knife like that. Kind of nostalgic seeing one being restored.
Definitely brought back memories for me. Growing up in the 80s you saw these everywhere. Came with a cool sheath with a whetstone too.
I love watching you save old forgotten things. You are very patient and talented. Thank you for sharing.
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.
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.
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!
I’m addicted to your videos! Absolutely love your work.. what an amazing restoration! Well done!.
idk what it is the sounds alone put me in a comatose state... it's like he's hitting something ancient in us. so cool.
You know it's all fake, right?
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!
it's fake !!

The design is definitely aesthetically appealing. Also the Rambo/Einstein joke is some solid "dad humor". 😄
За версту видать, что это китайское говно, реставрировать которое есть извращение. 😄
@@Galenchik особенно по компасу характерному
I’m stealing that joke
❤❤
SOooo weird that First Blood is dad territory. I still see it as a 16 year old kid !
I received one of those exact knives for my 13th birthday, from my Uncle & Aunt. Best gift ever! My Mum was NOT happy and I found out years later, that words were had 😂 Still have it in a cupboard some 40 years later.
My granddad had one of these, I was fascinated by it as a kid. It's probably why I became a weapon collector as a teen up to today lol this brought back some fond memories of my granddad
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!
Nice restoration. I still have mine from like 1982. Saw it the other day and thought even though it's a crappy knife it still looks cool.
I had one as well. Complete piece of crap knife 😂
Channeling Rambo: A rusty survival knife's epic revival story that'll leave you spellbound.
Came down with covid-19 this week and came across this channel. I'm a knife guy and have done some beginner stuff but I could watch this all day. Thanks for your videos and entertainment.
Another fantastic restoration that brought back many childhood memories from several lifetimes ago for me. Thanky you
Awesome job you did restoring that hunting knife. It looks much better and you sharpened it well. It works like a charm too. Great work.
My dad has this knife when I was a kid. Definitely a nostalgic video for me!
This was a trip down memory lane for sure.... Awesome.
It’s so satisfying just watching it go from dirty to clean
This brings back some memories. I still own this same knife I had as a kid. When the first Rambo came out these knifes became very popular. I remember that there were key rings that would fit over the threads of the handle. The compass would secure them down to the handle. I believe the key rings were for the string saw inside.
I came here to make the very same comment. I had the same knife 🔪 many many years ago
@@allenwilson9656 Came to say the same. Ironically enough I was moving my mother out of the house she's lived in for 60 years today and I came across my old survival knife. Then stumbled upon this video all in the same day. Funny how that happens. I am a little worried he used water to float the compass. I was under the impression they used alcohol so it wouldn't freeze.
This was fun to watch. I had one of those as a kid and restored mine a few years ago. Thanks for the vid
My grandfather a decade ago now gifted me this exact knife, a wonderful tool to be in the woods with
That was a good restoration! And it’s always cool to see a piece of your childhood come back to life 😄👍🏻🙌🏻
aynenn selamm
Wonderful, magnific work!
"I have rambo intelligence and heinstein muscles" 🤣👌❤
Cool restoration! I still have mine! But...needs to be restored....now I know how I'm going to do it. Thanks for a great video.
POV: This is Leon's combat knife when it's broken and you are the merchant fixing it.
I bought the same knife back in 1985. I still have it the compass is all but dried out thanks for showing how to restore the compass. The sheath is all rotted out and I still use knife for garden duty . Great video. 🙂👍
Still got mine! Especially love the restoration job on those old matches. That’s delicate work.
I was in scouts with a guy who had one of these he brought it on one of the camping trips my troop went on
Excellent work, congratulations!
Brings back memories..I also had one of those knives..nice job on the restoration..
I have the exact same knife! All I need is the compass and it's restored. Awesome job!
Astonishing skills! Well done 👍
Sou do Brasil não sei como vim parar neste canal ,mas independente disso ,agora mais um inscrito ,excelente trabalho !!
I remember having a knife similar to this some 45 plus years ago. Great job on the restoration!
The first time I have ever heard a restoration guy speak and it was really polite
Great work on a nostalgic item, I used to have one in my camping vehicles and backpacks back in the day. They get the job done in a pinch.
Awesome restoration job, man! That's identical to the one I had in the mid-80s except that mine had a plastic handle, and two keyring things for the tree saw. It was a crap knife, but I had a lot of fun with it. Thanks for the jog down memory lane.
bro i literally have one in my hands currently with an identical description: 2 keyring things at base of compass, plastic black handle and all. mine also says 420 STAINLESS TAIWAN at the base of the blade
@@elvincollins1095 How's the condition after 40 years? I spent a lot of time in the wild with mine, so the condition deteriorated over time. But the unit was still complete and fully functional and it never broke despite the beating I gave it. I have paid a lot more for similar knives that were junk in comparison.
Still have my identical knife from the 80’s in a toolbox! My friends and I spent many a day playing in the wooded areas around home. Such a nice surprise to see this pop up some 40 odd years later! Thanks!
Exact same story with my dad! We still have it.
It’s so cool that there are people like this in the world that share their experiences
Been binging some of your videos lately, and this is the 1st one I hear you talk!😂awesome job!
I enjoy everything about your videos, especially all the little funnies 🙂
Aren’t compasses and sprit levels filled with alcohol? Germs will grow eventually with water, no?
mine had a oil like liquid in the compass
Classic knife that everyone had in my childhood, I still have mine.
So much work for a 10$ souvenir knife that isn't even gonna hold an edge.🤣 That's real comedy gold.
Fantastic job bringing this knife back to its glory. It's absolutely a cool knife. I love that you made a new survival kit for it. Great work as always. Thanks for sharing your video. Stay safe
Beautiful knife beautiful restoration good job
now, let's do some splitting some kindling...
You forgot to replace the keyring handles for the wire saw. I had this same knife as a kid. Great video!
I have this exact knife, I got it from my dad years ago, I still have it kept in a safe place in my room, seeing this restoration was amazing. Thank you.
Love it! You keep your videos interesting with all the little quirks. I had one of these as a teenager. I loved that knife. Abused it for many a year. You did an amazing job my friend. So much patience and detail to work!👍
Был у меня когда-то точно такой-же нож!-, после года пользования- сломался!-, я даже ремонтировать его не стал!-, металл клинка плохой- часто приходилось затачивать, на обухе пилка- вообще не нужна, тем более компас в рукоятке!- у тебя всё отлично получилось!- молодец парень!-, дай бог тебе здоровья и благополучия, новых творческих успехов и хорошего настроения 👍👌🆗🇷🇺👈🤝🤓!!!
Those vintage air force survival knives are so cool!
Your ability to fix the screw seams is mind blowing
I really love the amazing restorations and wish them continued success.🙂
hardly amazing a 12 year old could do it
Отличный результат!!!👍👍👍
نعم نتيجة في قمة الروعة عندما يشعر الانسان ان لديه مستوى فكري رائع ويعيد كل ماهو في طريق الزوال فهذا يكفي تحياتي من الجزائر 🇩🇿🇩🇿 👍👍
I have this exact knife, complete with it's sheath and sharpening stone always by my bed. I did some light restoration to it a while back, but couldn't figure out a way to do more, especially with the compass. This is exactly what I needed.
what an amazing restoration! Well done!
Superbe restauration, comme d'habitude... Mais ce couteau se vend toujours sur internet, avec sa gaine et d'autres gadgets... 👍👍👍 greetings from Belgium 🇧🇪

Sauf que c est un Fake évident comme la plupart des vidéos de ce genre et en particulier de cette chaîne. Salut de Belgique aussi 😊
@@jean-marc7999 ha ha ! Pour un fake, c'en est un magnifique... 40 euros sur amazone, et encore....
did nobody else notice that the compass doesn't actually work
Thank you,I loved my Rambo knife just like this one. Memories flooded back
I received this knife back in the eighties and I still have it in unmolested condition with the original cheap sheath. The liquid in the compass has since evaporated but your video has given me the inspiration to rehydrate it and I hope the magnet still works. Mine also has two metal rings for use with the metal wire saw. They are stowed around the threaded part of the handle and compass top secures them. Nice video!
Witaj :) Czy jest możliwość żebym kupił od Ciebie ten nóż? Super robota pozdrawiam :)
As kids, we thought these were the best things ever 😂😂
No we didn’t tf
Wonderful result. This was my big Rambo knife as a kid. I still have it, though the compass and survival kit are gone. I think the "saw" on the back might be for removing scales from fish.
This was such a fun watch! Thanks for making this !
I remember those knives from the 80's! I never had one...I had a REAL military survival knife my cousin's husband gave me. Didn't have all of the "cool" stuff, but it was a real knife with a steel-backed leather sheath. That dern thing was way tougher than I was. :)
This exact model was my first knife ever! I loved that thing! To me it was the best knife ever made! I was 10 years old. I remember it had a shiny blade and a black "leather" sheath with sharpening stone. Very nice restoration! There is something missing- 2x key chain rings for the survival saw from the survival kit. Keep up the great work! :)
mine also had that black "leather" sheath with the string at the end of it. The "sharpening" stone. the chrome snaps used to keep the knife and the stone in place!! Great stuff. I also mentioned the key rings above - so easy to lose those.
I’ve had this exact knife in my dads shop since day one to do u know where it’s from
Love your work . It is great fun watching you restoring .Thank U
There used to be two rings, essentially a couple key chain style rings that went on the handle before the storage compartment cap was installed. The rings were for the wire saw. This is why the cap didn't thread all the way on.
You should be awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for this. 🥇
The knife is made it taiwan and sold at harbor freight for like $8
so easy to chemically induce rust real rust would tear up the edge of a knife
Are you silly?
even the aluminium is rusted
This restoration was very personal for me. That was my first sheath Knife. I got it at a Christmas party in the late 80's. Washington State U.S.A . I carry a Smith and Wesson 9" boot knife now.
Oh my lord that brings back some memories. My brother and I, just barely old enough to drive, took our girlfriends to the drive-in to see First Blood the night it opened, one of the last few weekends the drive-in would be open that year. There was a guy running a stand, just outside the snack bar, selling those knives for $4.50 apiece. Needless to say, a couple strapping lads like us just HAD to have them. That was a bigger number in 1982 than it is today, so the ladies had to split a popcorn and soda. Candy and nachos were of course, right out. We got our knives though. The temporary cold shoulders we received were totally worth it. My Brother Will passed away from colon cancer at 3a.m. on Christmas morning, 2017. I held his hand as he began the next part of his journey. I didn't realize he still had his Rambo knife all these years later until I was helping my teenage nephews and their mother go through some of his things a short time after. I love you, Will. Save me a seat. I will be along soon.
This is my most favorite knife. I grew up with it hunting/fishing always on my side. The sheath came with a tiny sharpening stone. I replaced it with a flint and steel. I literally could and have survived weeks in the woods alone with nothing but this knife.
Cheaply made chinese junk. I've had several. They don't last more than a few days if you're doing anything other than pretending to be Rambo.
Lol
@@liamx6636it costs nothing to be nice, y’know. Dude was just talking about their childhood memories and you feel the need to come along and stomp on it.
those where sold under the brand name world famous bought mine for 12.99 cad in the mid to 80's came with a black leather sheath and a Corse wet stone
Yeah I thought every kid had one growing up lol
When I was a kid we took family vacations to Silver Lake in Wautoma, Wisconsin. I bought this EXACT knife at a flea market near they lake when I was about 12/13 years old. I thought I was a combination of John Rambo and Huckleberry Finn! I was out swimming in the lake, diving down and cutting seaweed. I dropped it, it sank down into the darkness never to be seen again. I was crushed. Looks like you found it! :)
Unveiling a hidden treasure: the journey of rescuing a rusty survival knife with whispers of Rambo's legacy.
This is a Chinese one... from wish probably... looks very cheap made
Extremely satisfying, thank you
i had one of these knives ... thought i was bad to the bone and could survive anything with it lol .... oh to be a kid again !!!!!! thanks for the trip down memory lane ..... great job !!!
Nice job. I had that exact knife as a kid so that brought back some memories.
This restoration really turned out beautiful, very cool to see a survival knife like that. Only I would not rely on it due to the hollow handle.
Another great restoration. Makes me nostalgic. I too had one. I donated mine. I miss it but it was for a good cause.
Excellent work thanks for sharing
The memories, still have my original from the 80's, missing the compass ball though.
Dawn dish soap and a toothbrush as a dynamic cleaning duo. That subscribe transition was really smooth.
Hello from switzerland. Your work is remarkable. Thanks for the video.
wonderfu work, congratulations!!!
Yup, that was my childhood too. I’ll be honest, I hit the “like” and “subscribe” as soon as the compass went spinning off screen and you said, ”oh shoot, aw crap!” That would of been me. 😂 Keep up the great work.
