An older one!

Alien883,
You did a great job!
That is one of the most satisfying things to me, finding an old knife and bringing it back to life.

Great work! She's a beauty! I really like the no-nail-nick models. So much nostalgia there.

Thank you...

Re: An older one!
How did you get the blade to be long again like that? Maybe it's a trick of the camera lens.

Real nice job, I wouldn’t have seen the possibilities in that one. OH
