A while back, I purchased a Gerber Mark I for $10. It was pretty scratched up from someone trying to sharpen it:
The finish is not perfect, but I wanted it to retain the laser "MKI" mark. I believe it's much better, it will now shave too!
The snap on the sheath was busted, but still in fairly decent shape:
That's been fixed, I retained all the original parts. With proper care the repair should last a very long time.
Thanks GoingGreyfast for the compliments, I hope they serve you well for many years!
