bloodgroove whittler opinions

The Remington Corporation and the knives that they built have influenced the U.S. cutlery industry more than nearly any other manufacturer. From the time America was settled, to the end of WWI, American knife companies struggled to compete with Britain and German imports, but events that occurred during and after the First World War led to a great change in this phenomenon. Unprecedented opportunities arose, and Remington stepped up to seize the moment. In the process, they created some of today's most prized collectables. In an ironic twist, the next World War played the greatest role in ending the company’s domination of the industry.

I could see my knife looking nice and shiny like this near mint knife
Pile Driver, because your knife retains the blade etching it is more desirable than the eBay knife you shared (IMO).
I agree.

If it were mine I'd do some very light minimal cleaning, remove the old patch and re-patch the handle.
Very nice looking knife other than the patch!
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

For clarification...
Redoing the patchwork in my opinion does not take away from the production originality... but replacing the scales does because it requires dismantling the knife and replacing specific parts of the knife. This would in my opinion take it out of the category of being an original production line knife.

I agree, etch way more important. Lightly clean the handles, oil the joints, wipe it down and display. Great knife. Take care, John

I agree as well, I was being facetious

I'll have to keep searching for a worn out knife with great scales for a good value
