It doesn’t look a whole lot different from my crappy pics but have been using the Worksharp as sharpener and grinder today.
I started with a hand file to work out all the gouges in the edge. Then spent more time grinding and working the pitting and bits of rust off the blade and in particular the big bevel.
Then I spent some time on the hand grip. Did some sanding and managed to get a lot of the gouges out without changing the shape. Some of the deepest gouges will remain but I think it goes with the patina on the blade.
If anyone has any ideas about where this thing was made or when I’d be really interested to hear. It doesn’t scream homemade to me, given the plastic handle and the fact I know it’s at least as old as I am and older...
black jb weld or tinted bondo could be used to fill the dents. then paint it.
Or if you could take the handles off maybe use a heat gun to soften the dented areas and push em out from the inside? idk how thick or hollow it is.
