A very nice replacement for the Ear. I look forward to seeing what you do with the badly corroded point.

I have an Afghan Salwar Yataghan style blade with an even more deeply corroded point that I have not touched; it has been painful to look at as I have done nothing to it so *far.

*(Fifteen years)

I used sandpaper 600 and 3000 , just gently rubbing and some oil on your finger to finish it
