I am not convinced that we can be sure about "original" fittings. They certainly seem to have age and the wrongko seems to have been made for the blade, but this isn't necessarily the first dress this blade has seen...or it might well be, but i don't think we can ever be sure.

Hi David,

The same here I like the kebo lajer form very much and this one to me seems to be very nice and in good condition. Why would you restain this one. It seems to be quite ok to me as it is.

Regards, Erik
