Salty, but a good find friend.

I like it. I've been looking for a good early HJ knife with the motto on it, but man are they hard to find. These puppies were treated rough, rode hard, and put up wet!

This is the only bring back item which my great uncle. I have thought about repair, but fam history is priceless this one will never leave the collection as long as I am around
-
I would leave it as it is, if you desire a nicer one, find another to add to your collection.
