    Default Favorite, German Hollow

    Picked this one up at the downtown antique market. The scales were in great shape, so I just took it apart, sanded the scales lightly and buffed them a couple of times with Maas.

    The blade had some deep pits on the obverse side, and the tang was a nightmare. There are still some marks on the tang. I really wanted to preserve the lettering on this blade, because all of it was legible. I took the blade from 220-2000, finishing with WD40 on the second passes. A final buff with Maas.

    These are also the first pics to come out of my new budget lightbox setup. There's still some experimentation involved, but the pics are "lightyears" ahead of where I was with no diffusion.
