This will be my 3rd restoration but the first in about 9 or 10 months since I hurt my thumb. I had to do occupational therapy and let it heal so I took some time off.
B. Worth & son's 5/8 hollow ground Gentleman's Favorite. I soaked this in Evaporust overnight then did light hand sanding with 400, 600 and 800 wet dry to keep the nice patina and let it show it's age. I didn't want to go for the mirror finish on this one at all. I paired it up with some plastic faux Ivory scales I found at and antique store that had no blade with them. So this was a quick job and not too taxing on my thumb.
