    Started cleaning it up and was wondering if you guys thought I could CA Glue the scale back together?
    I have not unpinned it yet, but they are looking like they would be AWESOME!
    I did "try" and give it a hone to make SURE it would sharpen up okay also...

    WELL....I TRIED to do the BEST I could...

    I didn't know how to clean the scales any better. There were a couple "holes" and de-lamination on them so I CA glued them and sanded and sanded.... LOL
    Hit it on the buffing wheels and then MAAS
    Re-pinned with Double washers and tried to straighten the scales with steam and then a dowse in cold water.
    I think it turned out pretty good. Did NOT get it to a mirror finish, left some character in the blade.

    Here it is:

    Nice! Heiffors are great steel! 3 layers of tape and get with it! While you are at it, decipher that Hindi-wannabe on the blade for me!
