........ Pity ! I see there is rust in the notch point and on top of the spine. I hate to see you get stuck with it so out of the goodness of my heart !!!! PM and I'll take the poor thing off your hands ....

That's just chips off the great pyramid. It'll survive. This is my Wostenholm Glen is working on (I'm sure he'll post that in the workshop when he finally gets to it, it should be spectacular given the setup I am going to do). As huge as that one is, this one is even bigger, I think. Just overall, everything is massive. The tang is as tall as most german or american blades are.. It's awesome that these even exist.

Tang vs a normal blade. 11/16 German blade. Madness.... Name: WP_20140702_18_04_41_Pro.jpg

Between the two I am guessing the Wostenholm will be easier to use as the profile allows for some finesse, plus it has jimps. This guy will need almost negative pressure. Nice, mellow coti edges are the order of the day with that. Could you imagine either of those with a maxed out JNAT edge or something, it would be insanely dangerous.

You'll have do some arm curls to strengthen your shaving arms before you start. Can I recommend 10 lb dumbells in 3 sets of 10 reps.

This one doesn't have horrible balance. Slightly biased forward, but not too bad at all. I find balance and a generous tail are the keys with large blades, in general.

I knocked off the superficial corrosion to see what is really going on. It didn't really did not do any damage to the faces of the blade. The top of the spine got the worst of it.
