i recently acquired a H. Boker Damascus Magnetic steel. To my suprize it's not damascus steel but it is magnetized. Here are a few before, during and after pics. This was also a hand done restore. I decided to not remove the pins because it was centered perfect and fairly tight, just needed A few taps to make it perfect. After sanding 600/1000/1500/2000/3000 And sanding the scales with 3000 And then hand polishing with mothers aluminum polish. Thank you for looking.
I will still have to hone it though. Suprized that I had the energy to work on this last night, with working six ten hour days in this heat were having here in St. Louis.
