    Default Newest Restore.. No idea what brand!

    Start of by saying this one was super pitted around the spine on one side so i didnt do much polishing, as i liked the old look of it, gives it character. The wood is "Grandillo" and has the look of older wood which in my mind went with the blade. Didnt make the wood as polished as i tried with the others either to give it that more rustic look, but not so much that it looks bad. I can barely make out "U.S." on the side but nothing else:/

    Is your wedge pin seriously crooked? Hard to say for certain in the pictures. The sort of speckled pitting on the one side does have a certain look to it. Now if you could figure out how to selectively do it on purpose...

    I offset it towards the bottom, but its pretty even on both sides. Maybe off just a tiny hair, and thats why a drill press was the next thing on my list. And yeah i was thinking the same thing about the pitting, looks kinda good in a way!
