More Before & After
Here are the "before pix of some recent" restoration/regrinds. The first is a 7/8 Joseph Elliot, the second is a (little over) 6/8 W&B, and the last is a W&B that was actually in very good condition to start with, except for the corrosion. I was going to lose the etch anyway to get the rust off, so I opted to regrind (that one was pretty easy
)

Thanked: 50 Here are the same ones after regrinding/handling
The second one is probably my proudest achievement...I honestly wasnt sure it could be saved.

Thanked: 50 And Here Are a Few Extras :D
1. 15/16 Wade & Butcher 1/4 hollow. Stabilized pomelle sapelle handles.
2. 7/8 Jonathan Hunt full hollow. Black maeri scales with tru-oil finish
3. 8/8 Henckels Friodur. Bocote handles with CA finish. The wood's too oily for tru-oil to dry on it.
