Restored this nasty Camillus Electrcians Knife

Post by TripleF »

I knew this beast would take some work, but it's done as it's gonna get.
I snapped one pic before but I promise you the entire knife was nasty rusty and deeply pitted....

WOW Scott! You are getting really good at breathing new life into these old knives!
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

Nice work, Scott!
I just noticed the USA on the bolster, shame you don't know who it belonged to. At least he was patriotic! ::tu::

Beautiful, "silk purse from a sow's ear" immediately comes to mind!!!! The "only" difference between the two pictures is hard work and determination. The determination is apparent and you certainly aren't afraid of hard work. Thanks for sharing................................

Hey Scott. I'm getting a little suspicious. Are you just throwing away the rusty one and showing us a new one? I can't get the old ones to look that good. ___Dave
