Hello folks! Today I am restoring the Khevsur sword. Khevsureti is one of the mountainous regions in Georgia. This sword was made at the factory in Soviet times, it can be seen even by the dales on the blade that were made on the machine. Most likely the year of manufacture is the 1960s-70s. But the item has apparently been in a damp place for a long time. The strange winding of wires and insulating tape surprised, however. Well, let's start the restoration.

The first duty is to dismantle the old aluminum handle. By the way, the shape is very good, but alignment and cleaning are required. The first duty I took apart the sword, the handle was almost not fixed. The old rivets broke and it was held on wires and duct tape. I completely cleaned the handle with a sandblaster. I put the sword in the middle to remove the rust, but after a few hours the rust remained.

The blade had to be sanded for a very long time with sandpaper. The handle of the Khevsur sword, I darkened by chemical means, corrected and cut out various ornaments on the back of the handle (trying to do everything in the Khevsurian style, at least approximately). I attached the handle to the sword with new rivets, as well as the empty part in the hilt I filled with epoxy resin with sawdust.

Next, I made the scabbard of the sword out of wood, glued it with natural leather of medium thickness and made the fittings of the scabbard out of copper. And of course I conducted a very big and fun sword test for you! I hope you enjoy this sword restoration video!

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