Got the razor in today's mail. There is a small nick in the blade, but should hone out fairly easily, the edge of the blade appears to have a slight twist to it, looks as if the heel of the blade is a little lower than the point, but the spine looks straight. Will probbly send it to a honemeister to check out. Scales are in really good condition and there is just a small patch of rust near the notch. It is a 5/8. I posted some pics of it in the Butcher shoppe.
