Thanks guys.

Rob, My #1 has spent extended time in the field. Mostly in South America where you can't keep anything dry. I have never done anything to it beside clean it off and oil it up. I had 550 cord wrapped around the handle for 20 plus years without removing it. It is just as good as it ever was just not as pretty.
