    Default Worth picking up? 'Improved eagle' blade at store

    Hey everyone, my local antique store has an 'improved eagle' blade for sale for $25. Reviews indicate that this blade is a good shaver but I think this edge looks unusual. The owner of the store sent me a text with a photo so I wouldn't waste a trip, could anybody give me their gut instinct on this thing?

    Brand new to SR (aka still looking for a blade) so any and all input is appreciated.


    Thanks!

    That, in my opinion, is not worth the trouble. When you see a tapered blade like that the hone wear is terrific!

    I agree with Richard - there is some serious hone wear on that blade.

    It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
    This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.

    If you need a third on the hone wear you got it.
