While my skills are getting better…I send most of my users out to be professional sharpened. I can’t clean up uneven bevels like the pros yet.

Found this and gave $7 for it. Vintage Finnish J.Marttiini Rapala Fillet Knife. It cleaned and polished up nicely.
Lightly sanded the wood handle and applied some BLO.
Used Flitz polish with Dremel rotary tool with felt polishing wheel to polish the stainless steel blade and brass bolster. Used saddle soap to clean the leather sheath and then applied Bick 4 and Leather Honey leather conditioners.
Sharpened the blade and honed with leather strop.
