<p>Thanks for your comment, Ted! </p>
<p>And, yes! That's really all that I have done so far. As per Miss Jan's suggestions I have applied neatsfoot oil to the handle and sheath and I also oiled and cleaned the blade. Basically it has just been sidelined by other projects - non knife related - that have taken up most of my time. Your comment has served to remind me that I need to pay some attention to this wonderful old piece of cutlery. lol...I'll see what I can do?</p>
<p>Cheers, mate! </p>

<p>Very cool blade! I would leave as is, maybe hone the edge and treat the leather handles and sheath so it will not degrade any further.</p>

<p>Jan,</p>
<p>Thanks a million for your input - It's greatly appreciated! I'll definitely give your suggestions a try and keep you posted on my progress. It's currently resting comfortably in ICU.</p>

<p>Ron,</p>
<p>If this knife could talk ...I think the first thing it would say is....home at last!!!!</p>
<p>I will try my hand at this. First i think I might soak the handle portion in some neetsfoot oil and see if it comes back. Based on the condition, it might still be a bit rough but I think it would do well. While your at it, see if the sheath would like some also.</p>

<p>Based on the codition of the blade, I am thinking something along the lines of 1095. Some simichrome might help a good deal, maybe get you down to where you can tell if there is actual damage to deal with.</p>
<p>I, for one. want to see this one as you move forward. Nothing better than watching a knife come back to life! </p>
