    9.8 only because nothing is perfect.
    This is as close to perfect as a master restorer can get.
    Excellent with a chef’s kiss for emphasis 👍🏼👍🏼

    That is a Russian made knife according to research . Probably from the 1980s or 1990s. Possible made in a prison work camp. It is a very good restoration.

    loved watching you do the restoration. I liked how you made the brass scales and the look of them. I did hammer finish on Aluminium at Metal Work in school so I was familiar with that process. I think you could has resurrected the original aluminium scales it you wanted to, only one of them was bent!!

    My Dad left me a big collection of nuts, bolts, screws, and nails (staples, eye bolts, hooks and other unidentifiable things) when he passed away.
    I took a large, broad plastic bottle (it was a bottle for bulk tomato sauce) and cut the side out below the handle. Now I pour the objects into it and search for what I want and, when finished, I open the cap and pour them easily into a container.
    Saves a lot of trouble.

    Great restoration. We all have our own ways of doing things and people will always have an opinion on how you complete something. Whilst some restorers like to use machines throughout the process, there’s nothing quite like doing manual work and getting a sweat on. That beaten finish on the brass looks really good and the original plates had served their purpose so it was time for change.
    I too have boxes of bits passed down, even if you use just 1 out of the hundreds, they’ve served their purpose and can continue to be passed on.

    EDIT: now that was a surprise! At first I thought you'd restore an old WW1 shell casing 😂 - but what you did with that was awesome - I huge improvement (IMO) and what I would call a nice family heirloom piece you could give to a younger relative. Very cool result!
