Not sure I could dodge a ball or a wrench at this point, but I’m going to do my damndest to dodge the desire to buy knives that just sit in a box (at least until I break my other resolution to stop drinking so much beer)

we all say that at first! every year, we make that resolution, and every december we look back on our pile of knives

Gotta say, I'm feeling personally attacked on TWO fronts here!

Nice, 222.

I wonder if it is possible to polish the bolsters without removing the serial number? It looks like the numbers are quite a bit deeper than the striations on the bolster finish.

Something weird was going on in the universe yesterday, I just stayed on the couch.

Good call. I wonder if it’s some kind of secret coded message from meako though.

I think Primble took off the serial number in his polishing.

I heard if you take the blood of a bat mixed with frog meat and stirred with a rabbits foot the curse will be lifted…

It ought to be wholly possible with a little bit of care! GEC's satin bolsters appear to be to be in the 220-400 grit range, so 600 up to 2000 grit and then a buff ought to do the trick. 600 isn't aggressive enough to worry about. Important question though - are these steel or nickel silver?

It's possible
