Little Knife, Big Cleaning Job

[GmpaJim]

The question now is, what do you do with it? If you’re like me, tossing it is not an option.
Shop / garage dweller?

GmpaJim I think it will stay on my desk and be used to open letters and for other menial tasks around the office. Honestly, I'll probably just fidget with it while I'm on the phone and such.

Willy, it's exactly what I thought it would be after you finished...... a memory piece. You made it look as good as it can my brotha.
Thanks for sharing.

Yep, I'm not too bent out of shape over it. I still have a sizeable pile of other knives my Opa left behind so I've got plenty of other options to carry. It would have been nice to keep a vintage Schrade in service but this little Jack is long overdue for retirement.

Thanks all for your suggestions!

Looks like he used it a pretty fair amount. If I’d was me I think I might find a shadow box and put a nice picture of him in it and put the knife in it in front of the picture with the blades mostly open or something. Or leave it be as your desk knife.

Carry it in your pocket for a month or so, you’ll be amazed how it looks after. Call me crazy, but I swear it makes a difference.

eveled I have no doubt. Pocketworn slipjoints have so much character.
