Antique Knife

What can I use to clean & polish antique knife blades?

I have several antique pocket knives that belonged to my grandfather and father. Now I want to clean them and pass them on to my grandchildren. I have a buffing wheel with a Makita grinder, but what compound should I use?

Jeweler’s rouge will brighten them. It is mildly abrassive. You could try Bartender’s Friend or Bon Ami, also low abrassive.

Roxanne [VHS] $0.88 In 1987, almost a hundred years after its first production, the romantic story of Cyrano de Bergerac found new life in a winsome film written by Steve Martin.

Bales, whose otherwise unremarkable existence is crowned by an amazing…

Lara Croft Tomb Raider – The Cradle of Life (Special Collector’s Edition) $1.59 Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, The Cradle of Life is certainly better than its 2001 predecessor, but its appeal is mostly aimed at fans of the video games that inspired both movies.
