Is It Worth the Effort?

[Herb]

Tim, if you feel it has little value beyond a shooter, get yourself a good whetstone set and go to it. You should be able to get most of it and still retain the S/42 as it appears to be stamped pretty deep. Be careful not to nick the axle bulges. For a finishing stone a good Hard Atkansas stone with a rounded edge would do it. An Alternative is to ask Thor if he could clean it up.
