    Default Save the etching?

    Name: 20170112_195247.jpg Views: 242 Size: 42.3 KB

    So I picked up this ERN Crown and sword with the intention of cleaning it up. Had some good luck with an ATOR that cleaned up well and is now a really good shaver.

    It looks like if I want to sand down to clean steel I'm going to lose the etching. Any advise? clean or keep?

    Give it a cleaning, hone it, and enjoy it. There's better ones out there.

    Its difficult from the picture at least to even see the etching. I agree clean and use find one with clearer etch.

    The best way to save etching seems to be accomplished by use of a tumbler, but I'm not sure that a tumbler could save that etching. As others have suggested, it might be best to let it go on that one.

    What would you rather have, a razor that looks good or one that shaves good? Saving the etching won't make it shave better........Enjoy!
