Yes, that certainly does look like the wrench I misplaced in my misguided youth.
If you are 23, and you found it in '73, it must be mine. I don't know anyone else warping time in this dimension.

Mr. Rupert, I've used my talc belt a little!
As is, the talc belt may straighten out a wire edge about like a cotton wheel- my guess. It didn't seem to affect a clean edge at all.
I have a small bar of very high concentration 16u diamond compound that I judiciously applied. It would only remove a minor burr on hard carbon steel, and it didn't leave much tooth.
However, it does work very nicely for reconditioning scratched/tarnished blades with diamond compound, and I bet it will work very well on a slow moving, variable speed Viel!
