Ngombe Knife For Comment
Hi all
Seems Luc's thread on flying knives sparked my interest. That being said here is something I picked up the other day. It has some surface rust that needs cleaning but it seems to be a nice example with the fiber wrapped hilt intact. Last edited by Lew; 11th February 2011 at 05:44 PM. |

Luc
I was able to remove the small rust spots and the blade now has a nice even brown patina to it. My question is do I go further and remove this patina to expose the bare metal or do I just leave it alone? |

A very nice piece Lew. I think that I'd clean it up more to show off the great engraving.
