Thread: My latest aquisition

I show before you good folks my latest acquisition.'



Purchased from the wonderous bay, and actually in pretty good condition, I had the option of sanding away some light tarnishing and some pits, but I decided rather than opt for time on the sandpaper I would let this one keep it's character, I polished up the inlays though as well as the blade, removed some srface rust from the pivot area and oiled.

Tomorrow this one is going over the stones, I'm looking forward to the shave.

Well I just got my 1K back from gimpy alex and am about to hone this up, so will update you, I had also bout a dubl duck Bresduck No. 1 which had a slight chip in the blade so I took that to the hones first, it seems to have went well, the chip is gone and the edge is fine, gonna shave with it tomorrowso looks like the goldedge will need to wait for a use.
