Thanks for the info. One identification article I had read dated the "Warranted" marking early 1800's but the "England" part made me think post tarrif act.

I've got to clean it up a bit more then scale it and see how it does. The steel looks quite good. It does have 1 chip in the edge but I think just the process of cleaning it up will take out most of it and honing will get the rest. Now if only I could remember where I got it from. :-)
