sshalafi lemmy.worldI'd restore those! A grinder with a wire wheel will beat the rust off plenty quick, use the stone side to regrind the edge. Last time I tried this I put the head in a vice and used a file to finish the edge. LOL, I'm not very good at it. Don't know a way around buying a new handle. I just don't have the skills, tools, etc.9
