A fine example of “even though you CAN, it doesn’t mean you SHOULD”.
The value of this knife is FAR exceeded by the work it took to clean up, and bring it back from the dumpster fire condition it was in when I came across it.
I even re-did the little triangle notches on the spine of the blade.

I still want to put furniture wax on the handle and saya (is this still called a saya even on a fish knife?)
