I thought I remembered that he said it had been restored. Maybe I assumed that meant by the shop. I don’t remember which book it was in.
Bottom line is I had no problems sending mine to the shop to be cleaned.
Thanks Joe for the info.
I don' think he had any "restored" knives in his books. He was a sticker for originality. That being said, you can't really "restore" an old knife. The shop cannot match vintage finishes. While some knives such as yours may have benefited from being shop "cleaned", the vast majority of vintage knives will not.
