This arrived in the mail today and I'm happy. The vendors pics were so dark I couldn't tell the condition of the blade, but for $20.00 I figured I couldn't go wrong. Metal wedge can be used again.
There's no rust, nicks or chips and there doesn't seem to be any real pitting.
The horn scales will have to be replaced as per the description. Please excuse the lousy pics.
Can't wait to get started on this over the weekend !!
Looks great, Keep us posted. :tu
Other than the hone wear it should shave nicely
If by chance you'd like some help there are several of your countrymen that might be able to help you!! PM me if you'd like and I'll ask a couple of them if they could help you as they are my mates and brothers in blades!!Quote:

I will definitely need to have it honed as I'm not up to that. I do want to shave with it eventually.
Tylerbrycen, I did notice the hone wear and I need to do a bit more research about that, any suggestions ?
Well if it's a wedge you can have it regrinded which a professional can do that removes all hone wear I believe but if it's a hollow I wouldn't do it personally thats a lot of metal to remove and you can't put back what's taken off. I would try to get it honed from someone in your area and give it a shave really
This is a terrible pic but it's the best I can do.
