Did a search on this and came up with little to no information on this one.

Loaded with pits, and covered with what appears to be sanding marks from a flap wheel sanding drum, I took it apart, cleaned the scales, put them in oil for the next three weeks, and started hand sanding with 400 grt. W/D paper only to find I needed something a lot more aggressive.

So out came the greaseless and a stitched wheel and dremmel till all was clear but one small spot of deep pitting. From there was back to hand sanding, working for a satin finish. After countless techniques and failures, I gave up on it, and sanded it out to 1500 grt. wetNdry paper, then with .5 micron paper. (All sanding done with oil)
Its now almost a mirror finish, so I turn to the dremmel and a rag wheel loaded with Emory and oil. The outcome was unbelievable, so a rag wheel and red rouge.....Oh my god..!!! To the other side of the blade.!! Will I get the same results!?? You damn right I did.[emoji41]
And I remembered the progression to get there, this time. [emoji6]
Pinned with small brass domes and pins,
I'm really happy with this one, hope y'all enjoy.

It also has a nice reflective quality too.

Pics don't do the justice that it has in hand. I don't know what finish to call it...Satinbrush.!? But I like it. [emoji56]
