Nice. I love the look of the stub tails.

I've had two Wosty's like that. I really like the style and they do shave great. Unfortunately, I didn't really like the way they felt in my hand. Clausses also have an excellent reputation. If you're going to clean those blades up, I think they're well worth the price tag.

I'm going to hone them and see how they shave. If they are both worth saving (the Wosty seems it...the clauss might be hurtin'), I might send them out for the full Spa treatment at one of our esteeemd restorers.

That is a nice frameback and no rust near the edge. That is what I look for. If there is pitting around the edge you have to worry about holes in the bevel once you hone it if the pitting is deep enough. Not an issue with the Wosty.
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
