W&B invincible
I didn't put as much work into this one as I have my previous two. My goal was to remove rust, keep as much of the logo and invincible stamp as possible, keep the scales intact, and have another shaver, and I got to practice my pin work. always a plus. I cleaned up the scales with baking soda and hand soap. Sanded through a progression of grits from 60 to 2000. I only did three steps of my polishing. Compounds one and two, and then I finished up with the turtle wax polishing compound before honing. Not super pretty, but it looks better than it did, and it shaves great.

I think you're a brave man. Personally I wouldn't start at 60 grit if I want to save an etch but you succeeded so 2 thumbs up for that
The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.

I should have been more clear, I used 60 on the back and where there was no etch or stamp, and started with 220 around those areas. I just realized my before pics didn't upload.
