I fixed the toe, that's the first pic in the post.

It has that pattern but does it have pitting too ? It looks like some small pits in the center near the bottom.

I have been changing a lot of scales lately so I just do it. Inlays add to the fun.

You may want to just go ahead and work the blade. Keep an eye on it. If the scales aren't warped and look to be in good overall shape and they don't smell you may have cell rot in remission. I wouldn't put it away in a collection for a year that's for sure. I have had some ducks that looked like they had cell rot at one time. I had them and used them for months. Nothing. I went ahead and changed out the scales on them later. It's not like a bomb that will go off over night.
