    Default Bad Crack on the Tang?

    Check this one. Looks like a bad crack on the show side of the tang.

    I don't see the crack, but it looks like its been to the buffers. What really fascinates me though is the pitting near the spine. I really wish I could have seen what that rust looked like before. My gut is telling me to stay away from that one. One side looks to have been worked pretty hard while the other not so much. Make me think the edge would fold like foil. Hopefully my suspicions are wrong and someone got a decent usable razor.

    I don't see any cracks, but what I DO see is a Halsted razor being advertised as a Wade & Butcher.

    May you find no cracks and the spine is well intact.
    Good luck and Gods speed to you, may the razor gods be good to you.
