Thread: Dorko Steel restoration.

Wow - two Dorko's - that is a superb find, super hard steel, hopefully won't cause too much hair pulling getting an edge on those....congrats!

Nice work, Mike and kudos to Steve for sharing those scales. Slick black with inlay is hard to beat, IMO.
I would think you might find those round points are just fine!

That's the same Dorko in old damaged red, then new black scales phrank. I do have a second Dorko, but it's one of those 444 blanks and I have yet to find a blanchard grinder to borrow to do it a proper grind. So it waits in the wings.

Thanks for the comments gents, I will be giving it a few good tests and expect to love the results as much as my Bokers. Edge and blade profile reminiscent of them, but dare I say maybe thinner?
The logo in the etch matches the inlay spot on which I couldn't have planned for but am delighted to appreciate.
Super nice of Steve to offer up such nice, unused scales.
Can't say often enough how it's the gentlemen on here, your collective knowledge, wit, grace and generosity that sets this site apart.
It seemed to take mere minutes on the 1k to clean up the edge. My bevel is almost set.
Cheers.
