My first kit 1976 :
Attachment 17181
My last :
For now I've cut the scales that were too long.
I started cleaning the blade and stopped (now I regret what I've removed), because I loved the patina.
Thanks RayG

1) Timor "Blue Steel" 5/8 (Giesen & Forsthoff) -- no longer own it
2) Patterson 7/8 with MOP, abalone, & mammoth ivory composite scales -- restored by BG42 (Peter)
My first was a spanish 5/8 that I bought from a long gone Cutlery shop in Southampton.U.K.
I didnt buy a strop or any kind of sharpening kit & I couldnt get any kind of shave from it .That was about 1970.& my latest is a mint Cmon blackie that I got from Lynn & Don .
I am considering try a 4/8 blade again & I'm just trying to make my mind up.Paul
