    I wound up deciding to go with the minimalist approach. I started off with soaking a few hours in Evapo-Rust to try and kill any lurking corrosion. I followed that with gentle hand polishing with Flitz that I applied with 3M 3000 grit Trizact Performance Sandpaper.

    The result is subtle, and the camera doesn't really pick it up as well as the eye does, but I think that there's some improvement. I think that I'm satisfied, and will stop here.

    When you are dead, you don't know that you are dead. It's difficult only for the others.
    It's the same when you are stupid.

    I think no matter what level you went to it would still look awesome, purely due to those scales let alone the eching on the blade to top it of,
    nice judge on when to stop,
    the scales look new but the blade shows the true story of its life
