    Not very good pics and I forgot to get before pics, but...
    To cleaned these up. took the two with the black scales apart for cleaning and a bit of sanding. The bone scales are very thin so I didn't want to mess too much with them. Just cleaned and tightened. I will see about getting these on the stones tonight.

    Frederick Reynolds, The Celebrated, in bone
    Fromm Special #72 in black.

    The W&B will still need some time to correct the heal before honing. But the other two are ready.
    It's just Sharpening, right?

    Some light sanding... Well maybe not all that light: 220, 320, then jumped to 600, 800, 1000, 2000. After that a few minutes with the 3M on a rag.
    Haven't really done anything with the scales except hit the collars with the 3M.

    30-45 seconds each of rubbing and they look much better.
    Not bad for a start

    Yep, I love a Packwood. I'd hone it up an say done (still kinda suck at honing wedges, but you get my point )
