These are a few of the little guys I got in the grab bag. All but the laminate-handled one were pretty much finished. I'm also getting pretty re-familiar with the belt sander. It really takes a lot of handwork to take care of what could have been done carefully on the belt. All the transitions between material and all the curves smoothed makes the hand-sanding basically just polishing.
This is just like the one I worked over a couple days ago, except the blade is perfect. It was unfinished, but there was nothing materially wrong with this guy. They took the trouble to grind off the mark, but I can make out Sears. Well-made, tight, with a nice, sharp blade. This is sanded to #400; a couple of more hours should make it real nice.
