Thanks, Joe. This one was a pretty easy one, as all I really did was clean up the blade. I've been getting some half-decent fixer-uppers from Ebay, though I've probably had as many sniped last minute as I have won at good prices . It had some pretty deep marks from honing on the edge of the spine, as well as some dark staining and patina, which came off quite quickly. The hone wear smoothed out nicely, though I fear I'll have to scratch it up again to correct the asymmetrical spine. I'm going to run it by Maxi and see what he thinks.
