clean or not clean

[dwain]

I just purchased a Blackjack 1-7. The brass hilt or guard is tarnished pretty much. The knife will be a safe queen and not a user. Should I polish the brass or leave it be? I'm leaning towards polishing it.

dwain,if your intent is to keep it for re-sale at a later time I suggest that you leave it alone.If you plan on keeping it then polish it if you so desire.tom.
