Oh boy.

Just started my first restore..

I was filing the pin down to remove and scraped the scale. lol

Then I filed down the pin and then punched it out with a center punch. Crush and broke both side of the scales. I really didn't hit it very hard...

Starting to clean up the blade.

Any recommendations on grit of sandpaper sequence. I also own a flex shaft from my silver smithing days..

Thanks.
