big blade, not as big as one I've seen used to shave with. Should clean up OK.

Carl Rader razors are usually great shavers and are no problem to hone up. This one looks a little rough and looks like it has had a lot of honing or grinding toward the front of the blade, which could make it more difficult to get shave ready. You will have some pitting on clean up and be careful about what looks like some rust on the edge.
Good luck,
Lynn

Indeed Lynn, you are not mistaken there is significant hone wear concentrated toward the tip of the spine. I'll do my best to get it decently sharp has i have never used such a big razor. And I am quite intrigued. I know there are some much bigger ones out there but this one still feels and looks like it was made for a giant!
