As one bladesmith told me: another name for something that you can't use for one reason or other is 'useless'
Sometime ago I almost bought a roman era steel razor that I wanted to restore and put in my rotation. I was outbid at 140 euros by a museum director who would probably be revolted by what I was going to do.
I asked 2 respected bladesmiths (who would they be now... ) what they would appreciate more (assuming that they would know): to have one of their razors up in a display case 200 years after their deaths, or to have someone clean it up and use it.
They both chose the latter.Til shade is gone, til water is gone, Into the shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath.
