Thread: How goes it! From washington state

That's the only way I do things!

Welcome to the addiction.

Here's the damage I did gonna have to replace the blade I'm sure. If not help me out!

Hard to tell from those pics. The blade has some pitting by the look of it but if the EDGE is ok you should be able to hone it. Better pics and of edge would help greatly.

What Brand is it ?????

Its a no name the only reason I want to fix it up is because it was awedding gift from my wife right before I deployed

was she mad at you for something?

Haha probably for deploying while she was prego

Here's better pics of the damage I did to that sr.

As far as I can tell, the edge is in good condition. I suggest sanding the surface of the blade smooth with very coarse sandpaper (wet'n'dry 40~80 grit), to remove the irregularities. When all the bumps and pits are out (or acceptable to your taste), move up in grit, something like 120, 180, 240, 400, 800, 1000 and metal polish. With those grits, I got my first restore pretty shiny with just a few spots left.
If you have a buffing wheel, you could read up in the Wiki on how to restore a blade with it safely and without ruining the temper.

Good luck!
