Stone appears unused.There shouldn't be anything in the handle...The problem is it has been sharpened...The scabbard is great, there should be a sharpening stone on the backside, hopefully unused...
thank you. good info.It was the last year for the 4 line stamping also the Dolphin logo was removed from the crossguard. There were some made with the 1989 crossguard which makes it rarer. It's estimated that 2,689 were made of this model were made in 1990. It has 425M steel and Zytel handle and scabbard...

Looks like it was sharpened on a curb. Jeezzz. Is that something a spa treatment could take care of or are the scratches to deep?
I'm not sure they can do a SPA on those, the blade was bead blasted. I'm not sure they can repeat that process...
I would be shocked if they couldn't. It's a pretty simple process and equipment, just takes a lot of air. Heck, even I have 3 cabinets and I'm just a simple homeowner.... 1 medium and 2 smallish though admittedly none are hooked up at the moment.
Since they don't offer anything bead-blasted any longer I figure they just don't do it....
Being what it is I wasn't sure if they could do it for a fee and what not. With Mak being so close and in tight with those guys they might be able to clean it up for him.
