What's your method for the brass?

Tin Sue...thanks so much for your response...that clears a lot up and makes sense. Thanks every one else as well and I'll try all the recommendations and see what works best!
 
I have been playing, trying to see if I could show a before and after using brasso. Have decided that I need real outside daylight. But maybe these will be interesting. Maybe you can see some of the scratches are gone. I will be looking for the ones all of you have been mentioning here, tomorrow to try them out.

Click them once, and then click again
 
Wow - that's one of this year's (Okay, '07!) collector tin knives - already nastified! How'd you manage that?

I collect 112s and found a technic that works TOTALY GREAT for the really fine scratches but not for deep ones....Get a small can of "Mothers Mag and Aluminum Polish and a roll of soft TP, use just a TINY TINY dab of mothers on a really small peice of TP ...as it turns black use a new peice....Then wet down a peice of TP with water and wipe down. Dont rub hard either on the last few times...Wipe off any black that gets on the scales as you go along...Brass looks like NS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NS looks like a MIRROR !!!!!!!! I also use a Q-tip with the TP for nooks and crainnes... Like a mirror....

I won some ratches and wrenches off ebay and were at a local pawn shop. When I went to pick them up, this 110 was in his case. Knife only, said he had three... Was a rough area of town so I figure they had been ripped off from some wally and pawned. Is in good shape except for a few manageable scratches. Blade is unused, whew...lol

Made me an offer I couldn't refuse. :D

I also found it interesting that last years Founder edition 112 has a 2006 year stamp. Not so this 2007 110.
