Let me tell you, be glad it's stainless steel, since it will otherwise rust like crazy.<br /><br />I restored mine over the course of three or four months. I was at college for only a few months, and by the time I got back, it had already rusted over again. Also, I completely snapped the strap off the sheath, and it's hard to find a replacement since leather sheets tend to be large and expensive.<br /><br /><div style=\"font-style:italic;color:#888;\">The folks in the Telegram chat know how obsessive I got over it while I was trying to restore it.
