    Default Eric Anton Berg 13/16 hollow

    This is an eBay resto that I was planning to sell on but after shaving with it ..... I think it's a keeper.

    No before pics but a couple of early progress shots first up.

    Done as a satin finish but tang, tail & top of spine were finished with coarser grit compound than blade body. A few grind marks & small pits remain & the makers stamps are faded but I can live with that..

    Polished up the bakelite scales and repaired a hairline crack at the wedge end of one scale (2nd last pic). It's not invisible but survived the pinning so should hold ok.
    I hate how fragile these old plastics are
    Might re-scale it one day but all good for now.

    mb ~ Thanx, my first experience with a big Swede. I like it.

    holli4 ~ Thanx, I'd seen the concept on SRP before & 'borrowed it'.
