Before & After Restoration
Recently I've been polishing a few knives that were rock solid condition, just not purty.
Thought I'd share a few pics....
You have some to show and tell?

Nice job Scott. Did you use any machines or was this all by hand? Tom

Re: Before & After Restoration
Can you tell us the process?
( Machine vs. hand, what grit sandpaper you used if any, Dremel tools?,
polishing compounds, WD 40 etc. )

All done by hand using sandpaper, varying grits.

End polish with Flitz Metal Polish!

Re: Before & After Restoration
I'm doing this regularly now, and most I place on the bay for sale when completed, but wanted to share this shell handle I finished last week.....
