I'm glad you found it! I bet all it needs it's a cleanup.

Here's pix, much better shape then I expected. The blade rust isn't very deep and there are a couple of mars on the front slab. Back slab is still perfect. Lockup is actually fine, there is a slight catch or two when swinging open, probably debris, but it's still 97% as smooth as before I lost it.

Some character marks to remind you of his adventure

 

[DaveH]

yep, I'll clean the rust and leave the handle marks.

It looks much better after your TLC.

What method did you use to remove the rust and how easily did it come off?

Looks good, congrats on getting it back. I would hate to loose a Mayonized Sebenza. I've wanted one for a long time and they are not easy to come by these days.

I used a metal polishing product called Flitz. Mostly I just scrubbed it with a paper towel. On about 5 locations I wrapped a spare knife pocket clip in a paper towel to get a little more pressure or get where my finger couldn't.

Otherwise I just wiped off the innards, no corrosion on the handle (obviously) nor bronze washers nor on the tang of the knife.

Such a great knife. I am glad you found it
