    Default Thoughts on saving this duck?

    So I got this duck thinking it wasn't as bad as it really is. Well, the ebay pics lied, lied bad. Its horrible and quite possibly beyond my time restraints. Maybe even beyond my ability.




    edit: if its going to take more than a couple hours to get this to shave ready status, I'd rather get it off to someone else to hone it or give it away for price paid. If anyone's interested.

    A lot of hone wear, but it looks like it still have many good shaves. I would just hone it up and use it. But if you want it to be beautiful, I have no idea.

    Uneven hone wear too. More wear at the toe, less at the heel. Consequently, the toe is a lot shorter than the heel.

    Could you clarify why you think it's horrible? Other than the extra wear on the toe, which is common, not a problem, and preferred by some barbers, what else concerns you?

    I think it still has a lot of life left and will still hone up and shave just great!

    It may not be the epitome of perfection, but it will hone up and deliver a great shave.
