No, I don't have a Texas one...was referring to the one in the pic above. But can see how my comment makes it look that way. Sorry.

A quick update: Got it in the mail on Friday. Today I went over it a bit with some MAAS, because I figured that would make any defects show up better. It's not perfect, but I'm thinking about leaving it like this (other than honing and stropping).

I would hone it and shave with it. Looks really good.

Another update on my first restoration. Wasn't much needed other than polishing. I used some 1000 grit paper, then a buffing wheel to polish the blade. Finished this off with polish on a microfiber towel. After that was done, I examined the edge with a loupe, and noticed a couple of very small nicks in the edge. I worked these out with wet 1000 grit, then 3000 grit paper on a piece of glass to keep the paper flat.
I don't have stones yet for a final hone, but plan on taking it to the KC meetup this weekend, and will hopefully learn how to hone it there.Leatherstockiings likes this.
