I'm having a go at restoring a rusty piece of junk...not really just a bit rusty and tarnished with some pitting. The blade looks in good shape, no bad honing wear at all so I've got plenty to work with.
Good news is that I've got all the crap off and have it looking clean and well polished. Even fitted the scales back on (thanks Bill, those brass pins are excellent).
Now to start the edge off. I only have a Japanese 6000 hone but need something more aggressive to start the edge on. What does everyone use ?. I'll be at it for hours with the 6000.
Thanks
Gary
