Thread: Quack Quack 1st Dubl Duck

So, after a tenacious eBay battle, I walked away with most of a my wallets content and a nice big duck. I sanded it some with 320 grit to expose what ever pitting may be present and there is a good amount though small. Being that the blade is super thin, would you continue on with lower grits to remove all of the pitting or would you leave the smaller imperfections on the blade?

So.... no? :0)

Nah. I don't particularly like those blades that have lost all their character just to get a mirror finish. I would rather have one with a bit of pitting to tell a story. Now if there's rust, that's a different story.

The pitting is now clean and free from rust, I took a dental tool and my dremel to it last night when I couldn't fall asleep.

I would be wary of removing to much steel on the lower 1/3 of the blade.
So leave the pitting alone there. On the upper 2/3 of the blade you have sufficient steel that you can remove the pitting. This is what Joe Chandler did to a Dubl Duck Baby for me. It worked just fine.
