My first flea-market find ever!
I know it needs work but is it salvageable?, it's my first pick so thought if nothing else I could use it as a learning guide for future projects. I know I'll have to do something with that chip. I was happy with the low price AND it was the first one I picked up while out looking.

Nice find. Where is the chip? If it is the two small ones under the cross they will hone out.

Thanks. Never done it before so I'll take my time and research before I get started.

Hit it with 0000 steel wool doused with wd-40. That will get off any active rust. then hit it with some MASS to polish it up a bit. Should be fine. Hone wear is minimal and doesn't look like much rust/dirt activity near the edge.
