Hi! Today, the restoration of the legendary saber (shashka) KKV (Caucasian Cossack Army). The object was found in the ground, the original handle was removed (the handle is made of buffalo horn). The condition is poor, the blade is damaged, deep rust. But for me, it's only interesting - I'm starting to recover.

The first thing I did for a way to remove the modern imitation of the handle, clean the blade with an iron brush and place a rust remover for 17 hours. Next, he neutralized the acids with water and soda.

I repaired the damaged cutting edge with a piece of carbon steel of hand saw. Then I ground it and gave it a lost shape. Next, I restored the fullers to the surface of the blade and sanded the blade itself slightly. Next, I preserved the blade itself with a protective layer of iron oxide and graphite grease.

I chose a beech handle for the saber (hard and flexible wood), brass pins. The new scabbard was made of dry beech wood as well. I glued it with genuine leather and made the fittings out of nickel silver. I hope you enjoy this restoration video, please don't forget to share this video.

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