Finally a 9" Latama
My first Latama and still looking for an 11" and 13". Needless to say how excited I am. Near mint condition, especially for a 70 year old knife.
Should I shine it up or leave it alone?

Man that is sweeeet!!!!
In that condition I would vote for leaving it alone - it's just too nice in its original condition IMO.

I would oil it and otherwise leave it alone. That’s a very nice Latama.

Doesn't look like it needs anything to me. Your knife, do what you want with it but if it were mine I'd leave it as is.

Sa-weet! Seems like you've been feelin' the Latama lust for a while now, and it paid off in spades.
I think it's perfect as is.
