Funky Old Knife

[mojjax]

I got it at a yard sale . It looks hand made , the handle is brass up by the blade & on the end .
I'm not sure what the red wafers are made of yet . How old ?

It is very solid & tight . I can't find any maker's mark .

Ahhhh no it won't increase the value if you clean the blade up.Youll be removing patina.Same as sharpening it,you butcher any value that it may have.

Heavens NO...
Don't clean it other than a light scrubbing with a plastic brush and soapy water.
The value is in the age and if you make look new the it's just that ...
An old looking NEW knife.

That's cool. Don't run with it as mama always said.
