That poor old knife is in terrible condition, why would you want to "restore" it? Probably cost more to "restore" it than just go out and buy a nice one. They made millions of these and there are still thousands of nice ones available.

Agreed. Not one to put a piece of US history into the rubbish bin, but unless it’s a labor of love you’ll have more in time and effort than it will be worth in the long run. Sometimes you just have to oil them up and let them be.

Go to the bottom of this page, click on members, click find a member, type in muskrat man, send him a PM or email.
