Mail call... I must be stupid but I bought four tantos even if I have the exactly the same in my collection.
I just love them and as a friend collector said: It is good to have blades to trade with...:D
When it comes to the tanto with the brass fittings... Do you leave it as it is or do you polish it up?

Best,

I've had my CS Tanto since Dec 1989 the brass darkened not long after I had it.

I like the look of darkened brass, especially on this tanto, so I never tried to change it.
 
Thank you very much for your input, guys! I really appreciate it.
I will leave it as it is because I do not want to have a "pimp" tanto...:D
