W&B Vintage Restore
OMG I remembered a before pic
This one came down from Canada for a restore, pretty straight forward except I got sidetracked for 2 days after the initial 220 grit sanding on the scales and left them soaking in Neatsfoot oil for that time. WOW if you have the time to soak them longer I would definitely recommend it.. It wasn't that the outcome was so much better it was just way easier to obtain after that
Full buffing on the blade, but kept the stamps, all new Tri-metal stacked washers and pins...
Bevel set = Chosera 1k
Sharpening = Naniwa SS (Henckles Version) 1-3-8
Finish = Select Grade Coticule

Beautiful restore Glen. Looks fantastic. The finish on the scales is magic and the blade looks better than new.
