I would let the scabbard.
the knife is in my opinion ok
are the grinding marks under the RZM Manufacturer?

If the scabbard was just severely worn I would agree with you to leave it alone but this one has been cleaned back to bare metal so if it were me, I'd try to repaint the scabbard and then age it appropriately.

How would one go about aging the scabbard?

Thanks for the input Glenn. I just finished the paint job and it looks AMAZING, you almost can't tell that the paint is new since the knife is in such good shape. It's drying now, but I will upload pics once it is completely dry.

Warbuff,
The scabbard on your Tiger hj belongs on a Eickhorn hj because of the rounded tip which is an Eickhorn feature/product, so you could look for a better scabbard with genuine paint with a more pointed tip would suit your nice hj better imo.

As far as I know there are no specific characteristics attributed to the different makers, so the scabbard is not an issue to me.

As i said the scabbard with rounded tip belongs on an Eickhorn hj, ask John Z over on WAF or German Daggers forum as he collects Eickhorn hjs & daggers ect, rounded scabbard tip is an Eickhorn hj knife scabbard feature.

I used to have an extra original scabbard, I would have given it to ya, but I let it go already. If I run across another I will PM you & get your address. I have seen original scabbards out there before.
Good luck
Curt
