Thanked: 0Just finished it, the rust damage was so much worse than seemed at first. It was not an easy restore but I'm glad I've worked on it. Lots of de-rusting baths, regrinding, sandpaper work and machine polishing. It's quite an elegant model. Has a medium hard steel anf takes a satisfactory edge. Not a wafer thin solingen edge but still works quite well.
