I have a Terzuola Century Starfighter with a problem. I oiled the knife using some Hoppes oil in the black bottle. A few days later the knife blade was covered in a thin film of rust! The rag I used must have been contaminated with something else because I have never had this problem before. I cleaned the blade and got the rust off but now the Terzuola name and symbol are barely visible on the blade. There is also a dark gray circle under the left thumb stud.
Do you think it can be restored or would it be cost prohibitive?
I bought this knife at least 6 years ago from a custom gunshop that was moving (Roger Small of Scattergun Tech.) The knife had been sent to him supposedly as a prototype. I bought it because he did not like it and only wanted 250.00 (I think Roger realised he was to low when I was writing the check at light speed!)
When I disassembled the knife for cleaning I noticed a number 6 etched above the pivot pin hole. Could this be a designation for the type of steel used or a serial number?
I don't know that much about Terzuola knives except I will not find another for that price!
Thanks for any help!
