Wow, wonderful thread. And what a wonderful knife.The eBay ad mentioned '1 altes blaues Taschenmesser Dachbodenfund' or one old blue rooftop found pocketknife.And what a find. Imagine this laying on your roof for years on end. Doused with rain, frozen solid and baking in the sun.Considering all that it surprised me it's in such great shape.

Whale-tooth! That might end with a crucification for me I fear... ;-)

I have a pen knife with ivory handles (and CITES ceritficate) but outside MTo only my father and a few friends know about it. Anyhow, as whale-tooth is out of the question (and ivory too, probably), I believe any whitish tooth or bone would look great on a SAK. One that I saw in another thread had wild boar tuskers.
Ronald, you're a real source of inspiration!
...So Ahab will remain in one piece, get a gentle aluminium-spa and the new scales...
I think Dachboden means attic/loft - the space under the rafters & insulation. I don't think this cool Fisherman was stuck on top of a roof all this time... though I could be wrong!
Is this aluminium-spa a special treatment to seal the aliminium?
My plan was to dissolve the red cellidor
Ähm- what's "Bremsenreiniger" in English? I was planning to try a couple of substances first, from long-term WD 40 to Nitro...
Brake cleaner
