A very tired Spanish Navaja.

[fernando]

Bought this today in the local street fair. Completely rusted, though not so deep, stuck in the unfolded position. Just because it cost me the equivalent to a half portion of fish and chips (as Tim Simmons woul say ).
So i submitted it to two sessions of soft brushing with very fine steel wool, all permanently soaked with WD-40. And so what did i find, which was completely hidden; a coloured bulfighter in action and the word ESPAÑA, so much better than SPAIN, hence a bit less touristy.
I do not dare brush it harder, risking to take out the coloured bulfighter. Should i say the overall etching has a moorish taste ?
