First I'd like to introduce myself as this will be my first post here! I'm Dan from the central Kootenay's in BC Canada. Thank you for hosting such a wealth of knowledge here, it has certainly served me well over the last couple of weeks.

I initially wrote a decent paragraph that had all of the character of whit, intelligence and humor, but that somehow got deleted when I tried to post a picture so the following will have to do for now

Among several awesome razors (in my opinion) that I picked recently, the Duck is the most "delicate". Basically I was hoping someone could provide information on how it would be best to clean the gold wash area of the tang without damaging the finish or the blue duck fill.

I manufacture custom knives and I am also a leather craftsman so I know my way around a little of this, but that finish is another story all together. I'll try for another pic insert here....Name: $_57.jpg Views: 266 Size: 49.9 KBName: $_57a.jpg Views: 254 Size: 36.4 KBName: $_57b.jpg Views: 256 Size: 35.0 KB
