I bought these just to mess around with.. See what it takes to knock out a stuck pin (it sucks), do some rust scraping/wire wheel work..
Well i popped the scales off the middle one, scraped some rust off the tang and hit it with some WD40 and a wire wheel. Well the second i made the name out i stopped and figured i would come ask for advice.
Behold my first Wade & Butcher..

A face only a guy with RAD could love.
So is there any hope of restoring this blade or are those chips in the blade a death sentence??
