Thread: Irreparable Damage?

Wow, look at those scales! Nice.

(notice no mention of that blade....It's shot. OR, not worth the effert to restore) I've noticed that hone pattern happens when someone had a 'heavy hand' as they come across the hone. Most of the pressure/exposure to the hone is in the middle of the blade and hone, causing the metal to be removed from that area.

When the 'heavy handedness' is at the end of the stroke across the hone, you see the blade go more to a point, with most of the metal removed from the tip.

OK, I'm done with my little soap-box observation.

You could probably salvage those scales, and get at least 1/2 your cash back. Every now and then you have someone looking for a set of dubl duck scales.....Them's is those!

C utz

As has been noted, salvaging the scales on this one is a good idea. You might be able to find another DD with a good blade and crap scales, and marry the two.

Thanks for the advice...I was definitely not planning on throwing it away, as it is a beautiful piece...no matter how worthless it might be. I will definitly look into getting a new blade for it.

I actually just bought the "Imperial" Army and Navy from Gary....all I need is my strop and some paste and I'll be ready to go...

I'm so glad I found this site...I can't hold in my excitement. Thanks to all for your help!!!
