    The pivot pin didn't look original on the FBU, so I removed the blade. While the blade was removed I clamped the warped horn scales with some shims and dunked them
    in hot water (nearly boiling) for about 30 minutes. I let them dry ( clamped) for about 8 hours in the Arizona sun. I replace the pivot pin and now the blade is centered.
    Right now the scales are soaking up more Neatsfoot oil. Tomorrow it gets honed and tested.
    The guy at the flea market had about 10 more boxes in his display case but I had already spent everything the W&B's. I hope he's there next week.
    So how much did I spend on them? Let's say I'm blessed and leave it at that.....
