I was out looking for an Easter egg in White’s Easter egg hunt and picked up a hot signal. Only about 2” down, this old looming knife was hanging out. Going to try to clean it up and find out more info on it seeing as I don’t know the slightest on identifying knives. Found about 20 feet from a playground in Anchorage, Alaska.

I'm hoping so! I've never cleaned rust before, so I'm trying to find the best method. It looks like electrolysis.

Funny thing about this is perhaps it belonged to an earlier Thunter! Ah, the hunter becomes the hunted.
