4/8 H.Boker & Co Clean-up
I decided to try my hand and clean up one of my own. A 4/8 Boker with a little spine decoration. Now to find someone to get it honed again and new scales...thinking faux tortoise shell.
Let me know what you think
Before:
After: (although my camera did not show very well that it is much closer to mirror)

Wow that's a great looking blade! Wow! Me likes allot.
I don't know - I am not a restorer! But I would consider breadknifing the blade (making the blade a bit more "square") - ask the restorer what he/she thinks.
There are a few guys on the site that could do wonders for you - the only one I can attest to is gssixgun.David

The edge only has a slight smile, picture is not the best.... So maybe. Something to think about when it gets honed.
