    Default I am no expert...

    looks like some great restore candidates though! you got some big blades there and the point grind on the one is very cool! Get at that sanding man! I don't know about older pakistani blades, but people are being steered away from the pakistani blades around today...YMMV. That W&B is a sweet haul!

    The wade and butcher is from england, so you have two non german blades. That is sweet though, how much did you pay?

    Default Can't wait to see them cleaned up!

    One thought though: If you are handsanding, you may need to start with a much lower grit. I know removing pitting from a wedge I needed to start with 100 grit paper and then I moved through Bruno's recommended grit sequence. Good luck!
