Thanx Mike. Just tried to recreate the original look, minus rust of course
[QUOTE=Big Red;294683]that's really slick man, what kind of tape it hat you are using? great look on that tang.
Just plain old electrical tape. I like to protect the whole blade when I've finished polishing. I dropped this one on a tiled floor not long after taping. I was either lucky or the tape helped save it.
[B]Unfortunately, completely right Alex. Only a matter of days after resto I see tarnish re-forming on the original rust sites. I have some nice timber earmarked for a re- scale. Damn I liked those scales too [/B]
[QUOTE=CJBianco;294842]That black tang is damn sexy! Can you do a whole blade? I have an 8/8" W&B FOR BARBERS USE sitting around waiting for an interesting restore...
It can be done depends on the look you're after.“The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.”
