    That looks great. I like the nose on that that blade too.

    I love MJ Higgins, but all the ones I have and come across have a squared nose. Did you touch up, or is that a grind I am unaware of?

    I believe the blade is original. If something was done, it was done some time ago. The condition of the blade when I got it look like it had been neglected for the last 50-60 years..

    Not sure if I have a before pic. Honestly I thought it was a lost cause. I started & stop cleaning on it 4 times before I decided to try and finish it. It makes most of my other before pics look like beauty queens.

    Nice job . That acrylic suits the Sheffields well.
