This group is hosted by D ale, for knife enthusiasts who are interested in repairing, modifiying, restoring or improving knives, including fixed blades, folders and automatics of all types.
Heres are some photo collages of before and after pictures of my recent clean up of a WWII era Klein electricians knife. A coworker gifted this to me upon his retirement. He says it was either his Grandfathers or Fathers....couldn't quite remember. I just cleaned it up with sandpaper starting with 400 grit and working into 2,500 grit. Polished it a little with some Flitz and then a coat of renwax. I didn't want to go much farther with it because I wanted it to show it's history. I really enjoyed this project, I could almost feel it come to life in my hands as I was working on it. I've got a bail on the way from a friend down south.
