    Thanks. There wasn't any red rust but they did have varying degrees of black tarnish from none to heavy. Some had minor chips on the edge and some minor pitting on the edge. The blades that are junk had been ground back quite a bit to where the stabilizer looks to be half the original length and well into the cutting edge. A few had cracks on the scales at the spacer end and one had scales so brittle they cracked in half while I was cleaning the blade. I currently have ~ 12 cleaned and honed, ~ 7 more with the bevel set plus one in process and several more waiting to be address that need more attention than the ones I already cleaned and honed/beveled. My son will be over in a couple of weeks and I can have him take pics of the ones I finished for my database and I will also post them here. By that time I should have all of the lot worth working on finished.

    Well most of the lot is all cleaned, honed up and ready for a test shave. I used the scales off one of the worn down blades as a replacement for a set that were cracked at the spacer pin. 4 more that are good for scale replacement only and two or three that look like more than average work to restore, good for a rainy day. Guess it's time to look for more straights out in the world.
