Weekend treasure

[Bob Warfield]

Stopped in a local antique shop yesterday and found a cigar box full of old treasures. Looking through mostly used up knives of days gone by I spotted this one. It looked really bad, no shine anywhere with no snap left in the springs at all. It had a sticker on it, $5.00. I asked if this was the right price and was assured it was correct. I couldn't get my money out fast enough. Brought it home and cleaned all the grunge out of it and "got it's snap back". Once in a while you get lucky! Medium stockman. It goes quite well with it's little brother.

Nice score. Sometimes that old oil just dries and needs to be cleaned out and new oil added. Good job!

Are you saying that's CV knife? Great score, and even better elbow-grease, Sir!

So how did you get the shine back?

Great score!
