In another booth down the row I found a Frico that I really liked even with a small chip in the blade and warping scales, Not to mention it came with a Jung 80 Box!

After all the discounts I paid a total of about 55 bucks. Not a bad day.

From the hone wear, 6/8 From top of spine a little over 13/16 I know some people like to measure from different spots, so take your pick!

Wow! That's fantastic and it was a steal!

SOME of the vendors there were TRYING to steal. Two rows over was another booth, with another rolls, with a broken hone and missing the handle, and they were asking 40 bucks! More than a few straights with out of proportion pricing.
I told the attendant "Thats the Crack Isle" "I think all those dealers are smoking too much crack!"

Nice score. Y'all are killing me here, I can't get out of work early enough to go huntin. No matter..need to find some new hunting grounds anyhoo, mine are poached out.[emoji5]

Nice hunt awesome finds!

Action on the Rolls was tight, any lubrication had long since turned to gum. A good cleaning, and she was working fine. Just honed up the blade, and will be getting a rolls shave this evening. Sometimes a straight on a stick is a nice change of pace.

great marketing - Nev-A-Hone

Great scores

I think those Jung 80's are fantastic shavers! Had a few pass thru my hands and they have all been sweet. Enjoy!

BAH!!!!! Just ruined the strop on the rolls! Grrrrr!!! :rant:
