Hey all, I was browsing the 'bay, and I saw photo's that didn't look like much, but could have potential...(sorry for the bad pix in advance!)
Didn't look like much, but I REALLY wanted it! Turn's out the rust isn't as bad as the photo's showed...
The back:
The etch:
The grind:
I've felt the etch, and it's surface only, how can I best remove the rust, but keep the design?
Also, when honing, should I tape the spine to raise the angle of the bevel to avoid the etching, or should I just tape over it when I'm at the stones? Thanks again folks for all the input and help, I appreciate your time and expertise!
