Thanked: 4314
Thought I took a before pic of this, but I guess not.
Blade has a bit of lite pitting along the spine, and tang. And had a lot of tarnish/ heavy patina.
Separated the scales, cut off the active rust at the pivot, then steel wool and 3M, and again with 3M and a rag.
Cleaned and flattened scales, replaced plastic wedge ( other was split ) and pinned with silver nickle rod, and SS washers.
Honed out chips n pits, and set bevel on 1000 Chosera.
Then my usual progression, finished on a B/G Escher, Barbers delight.
BTW, it's not only a Special #1.
Its a Pearl Duck.!!
Test shave was great, and quacks while shaving.
