Just round the toe a little on that Black Diamond. The very tip won't be sharp but it won't cut you either. I think it's a keeper.
Wosty with the orange scales that it catches on -- are the scales straight? If so you just need to repin it, lots of good advice on the forum on how to get that alignment. I generally put an aluminum plug in the oversized tang hole in English razors -- I use an aluminum pop rivet with the shaft removed, hammer the proud side a liitle, grind flat and drill it straight once it's in, or you can use 1/16" ID tubing from a model store. Then you fuss with the peening until it lines up nice. If the scales aren't straight, you can straighten them with heat. They're really pretty, I would try to save them!

Wow, I would keep all of those if you bought the ones in the last picture you shared. Lots of beautiful steel there. The Wm Jackson looks like a monster.

Looks like you did very well, all of them are keepers.
What other markings are on the Black Diamond?

Thanked: 2284I'd keep all of them, at least for a bit. Hone them, strop them, shave with them. You might find one or two you really, really like.
Great score!Burls, Girls, and all things that Swirl....
