Little do you know I have a soft spot for Japan... 11 out of 12 SOG knives I have are Seki-born. So, it is a crime that I have not had a JP PST badge yet... until today. This piece was acquired for over a month now.
This PST was listed as used, with a few rust spots, probably reason why I had enough time to do "best offer". Turned out, the piece was in very good condition after some clean up with a 4" wired wheel. I used the wheel in manner of a brush, meaning I held the wheel and brushed the rust, gunk... off

One of the aspects I looked for is the plier head condition. There is no evident the pliers were used, with all serrations in original shape.


Main blade still has sharp factory edge


There are still some rust spots inside the channels I overlooked. Will clean again tomorrow. There is like a thin coating in the channel. Is it normal?
