Was hoping more of the gang would chime in while I was hoping to teach a brother a little something, but I believe we did ok.

Wanted to kinda explain to him that you dont need to sand...

Little side tracked, but the Boker has been buffed and repinned.

Not a big change, just cleans up the blade more. Im not going for a perfect finish, just want to...

Thank you Jonathan, for the help, feel free to chime in anytime, all the more help the better. That goes for all here. Were here to help the man learn and others as well. So if y'all have a...

Probably not all of it. But yes, it would ruin it for sure. Sometimes its better to just clean-up some blades, than to try and make them like new. Thats what I've been trying to get across to you....

I'll finish tomorrow

Here's after the wire wheel.

I will buff it...

Lets see where the wire wheel gets us. [emoji6]

Heres pics after cutting the rust...

Here's a Boker 1096 I'm about to start on. I'll start by cutting as much rust off with a SE razor blade, then the wire wheel in the dremmel. From there I'll decide whether to sand or not....

It said 80. But that is for the most severe restore jobs, with deeeeep pitting. Somtimes its just best to remove most of the pitting and leaving the deepest ones.

Heres what I mean.

You learn alot by hand...
But the dremmel makes it sooooo
much easier. It is paritive to beware of tool rotation.

Tools "ALWAYS"!! rotate off the edge of the blade, watch you dont get it hot,...

Just cleaned one up last night. Had worse rust on the tang than yours.
Used a wire wheel in the dremmel, then a rag wheel with cr/ox, then another rag wheel with flitz/maas. Then put it in a set of...
