Check out the rust on this baby. When I saw it, I thought of the Andrew Dice clay routine: "No one has even thought of ------ that!" I had to make it mine.
Won't know if there is enough metal left under the rust to restore the blade until I get it. The same for the brass salvage for custom scales.
If I can restore this one I will be very surprised.
I did say it is a challenge didn't I?
