    Default Hess rescue

    Here is a sweet little Hess 5/8 I finished recently. I love the cracked-ice scales. As with any other Hess, it took an exceptional edge.

    Here it is before;


    Here it is after;

    Mighty nice. When it is a labor of love you can see it in the finished product.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    I like Hess blades. They were made by the now defunct International Cutlery Co. It honed up like a Boker Red Injun. It will eventually end up for sale on my website.

    That's a great way of getting to try lots of blades & it not costing a fortune. Use it till something else comes up, then sell it restored!
