From a Sows ear

Hi all;

Picked up this little AG Russell Gents lockback for a good price; As you can see it looks to have been abused some but I thought I could improve it a little.





A little hand work TLC (no power tools used) turned it into this. Came out well. It'll probably end up on the trade / sell block soon though as it doesn't really fit into my rotation. It was fun though bringing it back from it's previous life of neglect. The tip it not gone; it just looks like it in these photos. It's a little rounded on the tip from sharpening but it's there

Great job! I love cleaning up old knives too. I've had some that looked like absolute garbage when I got them but, after some cleaning, they end up looking beautiful like yours.

Thank You

I think it is much better now and it will make a great user

You did a great job cleaning it up. Anyone would be proud to own that and use it. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing the project knife. I always enjoy seeing old tools refreshed and given a new lease on life.
