Well, you not wrecking anything to my eye...except maybe your own fingers. All that fine sanding hurts ...if only for a day or two. But..you know it really is part of the joy of collecting old knives..if you ask me.

I missed out on the 3rd cut stag single clip this time around (too far down on the waiting list).... Carrying this one to help me feel better.

Yeah....me too. Hopefully one will pop up on the secondary market.

In the pocket today, my #56EO single blade Weaver Jack and a chinese made Kershaw sheepsfoot lockback. I seldom carry 2 knives but today I foresee some rather messy tasks that I do not wish to subject my GEC to.

Here are a few 100 percent zoomed views of befores and afters for those of you who expressed an interest.
You should be able to tell the sanding direction by looking at these. I suggest you have a blower or compressed air and I also have a stiff brush to keep any sanding residue out of the joints, especially before opening or closing a blade. The little white line on the bone in the first picture is a small piece of lint.

Wow Primble that's excellent restoration work. I love that brushed look. Might try it on some of my knives sometime. Time to look for some 400 and 800 grit.

Thank you sir for the information. I have also been wondering what you use on the handles to clean and polish them?

Primble, you did a great job on fixin' that one up.:thumbup: I can't stop looking at the deep warm jigged bone covers.

Bob

For bone handles, tiny amounts of Flitz, applied with q-tips and followed by micro fiber cloth polishing.

Looks great Primble. Box her up and send her here and I will get that Charlow shipped to you.

Thank you Primble for the quick answers. Now off to bed.

Primble - I love the before and after close-ups. What you've done with the shield and bolsters is nothing short of amazing! I know its hard work and not magic, but I still think you're a magician. Thank you my friend!

Current condition and changing by the hour:

Picture after arrival yesterday:

Outstanding new addition Primble, and great to see your work, fine job sir :thumbup:

And I almost always have this GAK Jack sent me, it's part of my outdoor kit, so if I have my canteen ( which is always ) it's with me, it's a permanent resident in one of the side pouches.

Nice to see that old GAK is getting some use Pete :thumbup:

These are my companions at work every day now , and will be for foreseeable future .

Ken

Great combo Ken :thumbup:

Great choices again Jack - love the Charlow

Thank you sir

Nice Pete:thumbup: your trio will handle anything thrown it's way. I had the good fortune of winning an almost identical GAK from Jack as well, it resides in the center console of my work van and comes in handy on an almost daily basis:thumbup:

Glad to hear it's coming in handy Paul :thumbup:
