You got a bargain and you did a nice job of cleaning her up and re-contouring the broken tip.

If it were mine, given the blade condition, I might be tempted to force patina back on the blades of that one.

Nice job! :thumbup:

 

[glennbad]

Woo, nice save on that one. Looks good as new now!

50 CENTS !! man you did well.

 

[Matador]

Thanks guys! And she's scalpel sharp now too. Good idea on the forced patina. Gonna go a cut up some lemons now!

[Humppa]

Great looking knife

Dang - why don´t I find such gems 0.5 US-$ or 0.5 € on fleamarkets around :grumpy:

 

[VictorLouis]

WOW, you did a great job on that tip, and removing much of that corrosion.

[Dale Gribble]

Wow, good find and great job with bringing it back to life and reprofiling the blade. Thanks for sharing that.

 

[sogflash]

Great score for a even greater price. Looks like you fixed it up well.

 

[Bullion]

Real diamond in the rough there! Awesome job, gave that blade a whole new life, use it well.

 

[Matador]

Thanks again, all. It didn't take much given the quality of the components and the Case build quality. 20 minutes tops and she was good to go.

 

[Searchingforaschrade]

How did you get the corrosion off?

 

[Cory Hess]

Amazing job! You should go back and show those people what they sold for a couple of quarters. Not in a vindictive way, but in a "Hey, thanks" kinda way. I'd sure like to know that somebody turned something that I pulled out of my junk drawer into that beautiful knife.
