You have a desirable knife there it's worth getting cleaned up,like Bill said.Nice score mann!

John, big_slim and Lance: Thanks for the compliments. I prefer shiny knives so I go over them with 4 micron diamond paste and a 1" felt Dremel wheel. The diamond paste does a very nice job of polishing the metal without removing a significant amount as long as I'm a little careful with it. Any nick...

Whats the old saying.? There s nothing new under the sun..and shoot it's no...
