Found this old blade online. Blade a very minor chip in the toe, cracked and bug eaten scales. Cleaned up the blade while preserving the evidence of it's approx 250 yr age. Redone in some streaked horn I had kicking around. Chip removed and honed...finished on a Shaun stone. A great shave that is best accomplished with a bit unconventional grip!
