Found this old W&B today in an antique shop here in town. She's not a real looker and I have no plans on any major clean up. She had a pretty large chip and I had to take around 1/16 off of it. That kind of sucked but at least now it can be once again put into action. Got the bevel set and I'll get her honed up here in the next couple of days, probably on a coti.
New find.

VERY nice - do I see a neatsfoot soak for those horn scales in the near future?
Congrats, maybe it is just me but I like the width in the pic.

Yeah, they need some moisture put to them that's for sure. The blade in now 6/8, still a very respectable size.
Nice find Rick!
You got a beauty with just the right amount of patina. Nice.

Just wondering..can it be polished and keep all that original etching as well?
I like that ol' gal...bet it's got lots of spunk still in her. Nice find.

Thanks guys, I'll give the bees wax a try.
Take the scales off, sand them down, oil them up, beeswax them, and it'll look supah nice!
