That's great advice BigSpendur. I got mideval on it with a buffing wheel a couple weeks ago, I got a lot of the staining out. I need to get some high-quality polish and see if I can buff it up a little more.

I dunno, I think if I can get an edge on it, I could use it when I go camping or out of town. That way if something happens to it, I won't be heart broken.

Or I could let my 1 1/2 yr. old niece play with it...
