    Default Bockla 26 for restoring

    Here's a couple pics of my Bockla, pre-restoration. This is one of the first ever before type pics I've saved.

    Started working her tonight, and she already has a pretty wicked shine going on under all that tarnish and rust. Even the pin area is cleaning up nice.

    I'll post up some after pics in the restoration forum when she is done!

    My first Bockla, I'm looking forward to a shave with it!

    And here are a few of her after cleaning, polishing and replacing the scales. I wasn't able to save those in the before pic.

    She did polish up nice though. Sadly, many flaws show up in the photo's that I couldn't see with my eye. Including thumb and finger prints I thought were wiped off!!! Camera's are amazing things..

    Anyway, here she is now...

    excellent....excellent. I really like the way it turned out. Those scales really suite the blade.

    Great stuff MJ.
