"I've 'ad this since I were a scout, any chance...?" and in my hand was this,
My first thought was, "Blimey, (or words to that effect!) what the hell am I going to do with that?"
It's certainly seen better days, lots of them!
But, what the hell, a challenge is a challenge, so why not. After a bit of time spent cleaning it up, I discovered a makers name, G PLUM. The nearest I could find to that was George Plum, of Bristol, who used to make straight razors and assorted cutlery from about 1860 to 1930. All his stuff was marked as GEORGE PLUM, and not G PLUM, so it might not be the right maker, but it's still a fairly usable blade even in this condition.
After a bit of work, I ended up with this!
Worth doing?
