The blade had some active rust, but cleaned up pretty well eventually. still a little pitting, but I didnt want to loose the etch. The original Bakelite scales were given a light sand and buffed. It got a new Ivory acrylic wedge and Nickel Silver pins and s/steel washers.
I'm looking forward to getting this one honed and in the rotation, my first Wostenholm.
