Much better!

Right now I am working on this pen knife from Imperial (dates to 1946-1956)

Here is the before


My plan is to disassemble, clean, polish, and rescale it with ivory paper micarta. I am thinking no bolsters on this one, and I may try to pin a shield!

Just look at the excellent blade condition for at least 60 years ago!

Nice! Looks to be in great shape, other than the blade rash that was on it!
