Thread: Greaves 1 3/16 - Anyone Here? Part duh

Some pitting still remains and that's fine but I could only remove the dark spots from one side of the blade edge. That gives me hope that the super thin edge isn't rusted completely through. I don't know how to set the bevel to do a better test but I can just sand with something more course than a scouring pad and see what happens. Most of the dark spots came off from everywhere else that I "sanded" so I believe that the edge will hold. Also when I laid it on the measuring tape I got 10/8 at the widest point and 9/8 at the heel instead of 1 3/16

Here comes lots of pics

So a picture in my mind of Cheetahmeat walking along in JC, singing a little tune whilst rubbing that beast with a brillo pad.
Perfectly normal!
