Hey Gents, I've had this for quite a while and it has me stumped.
The edge is pit-free so no worries there.

I'm not really sure how to proceed. As you see, I could go back and sand it
and leave it with a matt finish to de-emphasise the pits....or I can lose the
makers stamp on the tang and make it nice and shiny.

Other options ?

I don't really like the idea of obliterating the Wade & Butcher stamp but....

This has been wet'n'dry sanded to 2500 in my own less than perfect way.

What say you ?
