It must be experience but I have no clue how from those pictures you can decide which blades are good to restore. I have a knife that looked awful. By rubbing it with metal cleaner it got so shinny and nice. I was very surprised. I did nothing more to it. I wished I had some power tools to make it look even better. Obviously, my knife, which I used to cut chunks of bait with, is not a razor but....

Well you can never tell 100%. But I look at the hone wear, the edge and for deep rust. Black streaks are bad, especially around the edge. Some kind of steel eating fungus? lol Originally Posted by Alraz

Now, I will even take some and "bread knife" out the nicks in the blade. I bet over half of these will make great shavers. We will see I guess.

Looks like you've got some good ones there - just need a little elbow grease (and time) and you'll be good to go! Not bad at all for the price IMHO!
