Hello Everyone,

Nice little set. Signed Yasuyama? although someone will correct me with the right pronounciation.
Get some oil on that blade.

Thanks Brian,

 

When you oil this type of blade do you only do the polished surface?

You do not clean the side with file marks correct? 

 

Thanks,

Oil...not really cleaning. You can do both sides on this. Just nothing abrasive.

Dear Jonathan.

 

Just to add the theme is a Portugese with a hunting dog, very similar to the one Bob posted in this thread, item 278. 

 

All the best.

Thanks for the link, however after looking at the post makes me think diffrently. I don't believe mine is anything like thouse.  The dogs on them are vastly diffrent.  Not even remotely close to what is on mine imo.

 

I'm new so I don't know, but to me they are vastly diffrent.
