Welcome Home...THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART OF OUR COMMUNITY

Ok the million dollar question from the new kid on the block, do I restore or not? I have talked with several and got a divided answer. Most say leave alone origional even if tarnished is much better that buffed and polished out. What seems the best answer so far was , if knife is damaged, sharpened down or broke restore it, if not damaged or broke leave it alone. As I said I am the new kid started collecting about a year ago. I buy what I like and not any 1 type or brand , if it looks neat I pick it up. Also looking for a good current price guide I have picked up several on E-Bay but the newest is from 1995. It seems easy to get info on Case and most big name knifes its the little brands I dont find much on. Thanks for letting me pick your brains I will be putting some pictures in soon This sight is just plain old sweet lots of stuff for experts and us beginners

Brother, for me, it all depends. Sometimes I clean em up, but mostly because I love handling them. Saying that, my most loved pieces, I leave alone.
I love rust, patina, and age. every once in awhile, I fight myself not to restore or clean.

Yeah, I say do what makes you happy. BUT, I know if it's a rare valuable knife, even taking the "patina" off will upset most die hard vintage collectors.

True, Craig, on my real "old" ones..... I aways leave 'em in found condition
