Thread: New to restoration... help!

I recently picked up this blade on e-bay... and had some initial questions regarding my jump into attempted restoration.

I already own a dremel and a plethora of attachments (I used to do some wood and glass carving hobbywork in college).

Does anyone have any recommendations as to how to restore the blade and polish the scales? Thanks in advance!

I recommend reading through all of the topics of interest in the restoration forums and then asking specific questions.

Thanks! I tried the search function, but couldn't find much info on the blade I posted above.... Do you know anything about it?

I've heard good things about it but never used one. The pics were very bad, so be careful. You don't know what you're gonna get.

I'm finding Bill (Urleebird) Ellis' CD to be a big help.
