I think this 112 is pretty old...and it showed it too...lol
The seller said its shot...no hope...lol...that didnt sit good with me, and for $4 I just took on the challenge.Sanding, cleaning, more sanding...buffing and final polish.......its still pretty old...lol...but I think it is not showing THAT MUCH anymoreπŸ˜ƒ

Alien883,
You did a great job!
That is one of the most satisfying things to me, finding an old knife and bringing it back to life. ::nod::

How did you get the blade to be long again like that? Maybe it's a trick of the camera lens.
