    It looks like it'll clean up if you really put some effort into it...roll up your sleeves . It has seen what looks to me like quite a bit of hone wear...but 10 bucks not a bad score.

    i saw this one earlier but the hone wear scared me off, plus i've got a higgins already.
    clean it up, hone it and see how you like it.

    Hi Stvn. Hone wear refers to the wear in the picture, and means it has been sharpened on a stone.



    You cannot really treat it, the more hone wear the razor has the flatter that part of the blade becomes, and the more "used" it is considered. I feel retarded tonight, studying for an art history test, if anyone else can explain this better please help me out. The coffee is making jittery...

    Most people just deal with it!
    You could have someone like Traveller or Joe Chandler regrind it for you though!
