Thread: Nice Joseph Rodgers.

Cheetah, it appears the scales are replacements. Would you want to pay that much for a non original Sheffield just because the blade is 'approximately' 1&1/8" ? Another one will be along before too long. They made a lot of 'em.

It's been maybe 2 years or so ago but i say one wedge that had been re-conditioned go for just under 1200 smackers. I don't know if anyone else remembers or not but it looked like at least 2 got in a bidding war and I couldn't believe it.

It's not nearly as bad as the de world... someone bought a 1-5 toggle set off of me for $5000 once. This one, up to $750 I could have sold some other nice blades off to offset it and also not make myself feel like a mental patient for paying that for a blade marginally larger than most from its region, but once you romp over 900, the pile of stuff you have to sell just confirms you are one..

found it on my phone.

I can't fault that seller... Started it at 100 and we're exceedingly open and were chilled out about letting you send it back if it were not right... I don't think this is as mental as that boxed pike coticule selling for what it did a couple of weeks ago

IT"S ALL ABOUT THE HUNT BABY!!!!!
Nah...just kidding. I love the big blades but that's just way way ridiculous. A little less that one months rent in Jersey City...2 whole houses in Texas though...LMAO. I need to move.

Deep Ellum here I come!

On your phone ? Looks to be the exact blade from the auction. 92 bids. Guy with 567 feedbacks pushed it a lot of the way, but 131 feedbacks came in at the bitter end. Seller from Vermont apparently.

I know nothing about shaving or honing but doesn't that hone wear look exceedingly excessive? Or is that considered reasonable for that size blade. You guys have such good eyes. I would love another 10/8's though

Nah... it actually looks very consistent in the bevel department as well. It is a fantastic blade, but at that price, once I pay Glen or mark to sort it out it would be well over a thousand and that's stupid

You can't judge hone wear on wedges quite the same as hollows. If that were in a state where the bevel and spine were awfully wide, it would be regrind territory
