My first and really appreciate the build quality on these. The plating was rough - especially on the head. Did a soak and scrub with scrubbing bubbles then polished the head with a Dremel pad with some compound - lost the remaining plating but took off most of the pitting and starting to shine. Still a little crud on the bullet tip so soaking some more. Then will finish shining the head. Have some blades on the way - can't wait to try it out for my first SE experience. Definitely need to add a few more of these to the collection - thinking next a G-bar.
    After pics to follow...

    Pretty happy with the results! Are these brass under the plating?
