So I picked up my first SR last week. Been making knives and similar things most of my life, but had never fiddled with a SR.

Given how expensive most new SRs are, I went down the street to a local antique store and found a C Mon Blackie with very little wear for $18. Grabbed it and started tinkering with honing and buffing the blade, as the scales were mostly ruined and the pin in the blade had been bent beyond repair.
