Hello everyone, I recently picked up this imperial electricians at the gun and knife show for $10 and figured it could be a fun project. The tang stamp means this was produced in the range of 1956-1988. The knife wasn't in awful shape when I got it, the tip had been broke off so I went ahead and grinded on a new one with the work sharp. Other than that I polished all the metal with some mag polish and a Dremel cotton wheel. After that got thrown on the EP the edge was pretty rough so I reprofile it to 17dps, took it up to the 6k tapes, and stropped on the knives plus strop block. Thought I'd share with everyone. Attached some before and after pictures
