Disston handles . . .

>OK, the can is open and the worms are crawling, just, everywhere ! I take it from all the opinions here that the old Disston handles dont have enough value to prevent me from doing a bit of filigree on them.Don't want to commit tool sin here. I started sanding all the gunk off them and, well, you know. I also got a pack of 220 grit to attack the rust on the blade. Check or hold ? ( God, I love this !)

>Some are worth more than others...older generally worth the most. In my opinion the old ones need the least work:-) I wouldn't hesitate to rework any that have sharp edges where skin can hit.
Rethinking my line about older needing the least work, I am talking about handles that haven't been abused. JR who wouldn't do more than clean his new found Disston #16 handle...It's like butta.
