Hi everyone.
New to the forum and looking for abit of advice & insight so sorry if this is in the wrong place.
Today I came across one of my grandads old knifes that I can remember him having since my childhood (now 32.) Pictures attached.
Ideally I'd like to try and restore it back to its former glory.
The knife has a stamp that says 'I cut my way, William Rodgers, Sheffield, England'
Would this be something I'd be able to restore myself with little to no experience in this field or would it be better letting someone do it for me?
If I was able to have ago myself is there a best way to go about it. Would just like to concentrate on the blade for now but will want a new sheath for it as well at some point.
Any help, advice or information would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
