Hi all,
I got a Konosuke Fujiyama gyuto from B/S/T recently, and even though it's in great condition overall, I can see a little gap starting to form between the horn ferrule and the ebony handle - probably because the ebony shrunk a little over time.
Is there a good way to deal with this, both for good looks and to avoid dirt getting trapped in the gap?
There's also a small scratch on the ferrule; can it be polished out using sandpaper?
I can post pictures later if it helps.
