Nasty smile?... That is a beauty.
Junk send it to me for proper disposal.
The scales that are on it now. They can be cleaned up. Have a look in the restoration threads or post a question in there on how to do it.Scales....what looks good on a chopper?
Non fbu?
I.... Will have to look into getting some belts for my sander to make things a little easier!
I pulled the scales last night and started in on the blade. It looks like someone touched it up on a grinder at some point, terrible scratches on the wedge faces. 100 grit didn't even put a dent in them. Not deep scratches though, probably just hard steel. I trued up the edges of the tang with a small jewelers file. Need to true up the nose a bit. Will have to look into getting some belts for my sander to make things a little easier!
