I did this once before in 2015. Restored 4 sets. They sold quick. They carved turkey, one guy cut himself, questions about knives staining. This time will enclose on how to keep any rust returning, letting a patina develope. All the deep scratches sanded out, most from wailing away on a steel. Some pitting sanding reduces no rust left on blades. 3 simple steps for cleaning and storing knives after use. Follow simple rules and these knives won't rust at all
I only cherry pic knives with no wear on the blade. Try to get ones with patina ok, but little or no rust. Impossible until you sand to know true state of these over 120 year old real stag handle sets.

Some pitting reduced by sanding.
Before
Backside got all small pitting out, front side pitting reduced on logo side of blade. Cut a bevel with 4k stone get a burr- then King hyper 1k put on a micobevel remove Burr. These blades are sharp, not taken to high level but ready to break down turkey
