    That's a very nice haul! Nice blade on that Satinedge too, however the scales seem to be frighteningly close to descending into cellrot hell. Remember that they were water clear at one time.

    Totally agree, very nice haul, might get lucky and find a busted up bladed satin edge online...or replace the scales....celluloid scares me...

    Pop the inlays off and make some new scales.

    Good haul.

    According to MODINE's test that American improved quality three line barber hone is an aggressive sub 8k stone with a tendency to develop a wire edge. Made by AM Hone Co.

    Yeah I got the same impression. Its really fast and feels more like a 2 or 3k stone. I will probably just end up using it for knives and hooks.

    The scales aren't as yellow as they look in the picture but they are pretty bad but for 25 I figured I could throw some money at it later and get some new scales made up. In the meanwhile I have been keeping the razor stored open to prevent any off gassing to the blade.
