I picked up these two knives in Vietnam a little over 5 years ago. Recently I've been contemplating cleaning up the blades and making them look as good as possible. However I'm not sure if I should or not. These were left over from the war, I actually bought them in a hotel lobby for 50. I feel that it may take away from the feeling a bit but then again its not like they are going in a museum (any time soon).
