Wostie Conqueror
Local find today. Just set a bevel on a 1K Naniwa to take the horrendous dings out of the edge. Even after the IK honing it is an 11/16 blade. Still needs to have small rust spots remove from the top of the spine and tang. Think it will all work out OK.

One of the last Wostenholms, I think! Nice find, Bob!

It's very hollow! The Germans taught the English to grind and they took it to heart, did some fine stuff from TOC to the 30's. Originally Posted by Gasman

To find one in this fine nick is extraordinaire anymore.
