reclaimed junk.

[Messerist]

The Mom-in-law sent me a garage sale find.  It was an old, rusty Russell skinner that had a close call with a garbage disposal and looked like it had seen better days.  The Wife asked one day "What are you gonna do with this piece of cr#p.!"  "Your mother sent it to me."  "Well what are....."  you know how those conversations go.  Well, I did something with it.  First, I  rasped and filed away the fifteen layers of polyurethane gooped all over the handle.  Then I reshaped the handle and fixed the mangled tip by carefully grinding away the damaged portion.    I removed the rust with some 0000 steel wool and a little elbow grease. Turned it into a nice little clipped point skinner.
