Yep, I read that you can keep on using it until it turns dark.

Wanting to impress his first boss, he just nodded his head in agreement. He promptly phoned their supplier and ordered a 55-gallon drum, of Elbow Grease along with his other needed supplies.

Later after the task was completed, he told his boss the story and how the supplier laughed for a good minute on the phone. He said that relating that story, cemented a great working relationship with the boss, and was the start of a long and interesting career as an engineer. He is today, one of the world’s leading experts in water purification.
Hehe, I didn't call anyone but I did google it. What's weird is that amazon returns a product!

Yes, as advised, do make sure the blade will hold an edge, before you invest many hours in restoration, only to find you have a nice letter opener.

Are those horn scales, if so, they can be saved with some CA glue and a bit of sanding.
Thanks! I will keep on updating this thread. My main concern is learning and I am happy with the progress
