I agree, don't get it honed from a knife sharpener! Most don't know the angle to use when honing a razor. The scales do look good. I think you could probably clean that razor up with some 1000 - 2000 grit sand paper from checkers auto parts...Then clean the scales with an old tooth brush and dish soap. After that, take some gun stock varnish (or whatever your flavor) and wipe it down to bring out the colors. Looks like a good shaver though..Welcome to the club.
