Thread: Roasted Duck

If the blade is twiated and discolored I'd say its a wallhanger not a razor. Dull it off if you have to so it's safe and polish it so its pretty. Then mark it so your decendants won't sell it on as a shaver and han it up. I wouldn't waste the effort to try to hone it.

of course better pictures would be nice as well

Yeah. Once you've seen metal discolored by heat, you never forget what it looks like. I've tried taking pictures of it, but I just can't seem to get the heat discoloration to show up well. Which makes me think I'll take it easy on the seller, since I can't get pictures to show it any better than his.

Good idea. The heat discoloration should look kinda cool once it's all shiny, actually.
