A woo-hoo indeed! Very well done. That looks fantastic!
How was the rust at the heel? Inquiring minds want to know...

Pretty bad on the back side, the show side wasn't too bad.

Backside was full of pits real small, actually there still a few left, hard to see in the pictures.
A clean band of metal appeared ahead of the pits, near the edge. As I kept sanding it became wider, so I sanded till I knew they would be hardly noticeable once I polished it. I got real lucky on this one....so far. I only lost a bevel width or two, still measures 6/8, heel to toe, and I had to reshape the heel a bit. Gonna have to swoop it pretty good, on the hones, she's a bit more curvy than she looks in the pics.

My thumb thanks you. Shaun. That was a lot of sanding, and polishing by hand. Gives me a couple days to rest my hands before I get to honing it. Sunday shaver..if the edge holds, which I feel it will, from what I'm seeing.

Just made it look a little better. Shoe polish was the only thing I could think of to spiff it up a little. Seems to of worked, I know water will bead, on it.

Thanks for the shoe polish idea. Seems so obvious, but I would never have thought of that myself. Originally Posted by outback

I'm thinking of a piece of fabric that can be placed from inside the box, then sealed with something from the outside.
any thoughts.?!
