Nice score! That was definately worth going back

Hey Kiwi, it's a real mans blade. And I'd send it if there were any real men in NZ!
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.

Will do, Chris! I think they're in decent shape. No cracks or chips, just alot of filth. The hinge pin is remarkably tight. The pin faces have seen better days.

Never mind, I figured out the fbu thing.
Easily worth going back for! I really love those W&B choppers, though. That one is a style I've been looking to pick up myself for a long time now. Congrats. I can't wait to see after restore pics on that baby!
Gorgeous big beefy wedge! Just begging for a full restore!

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!
NNOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooo..............
NO BELT SANDERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
fellas, we need an intervention here, STAT!

For sure no belt sander unless it's a knife grinder used in knife making ... Also those scratches were probably from a regrind of some sort
