Very nice! How did you aqquire it? As much as I would be tempted to use it, ''SirStropalot'' makes a valid point.

This is JMHO but, if you're gonna have a blade like that sitting around you may as well use it and enjoy it. I have a or I guess had a NOS Filarmonica EPBD that I use in my rotation...I'll be darned if I'm gonna let a nice blade like that just sit there and look at it
The amount of steel you'll remove in a lifetime of honing isn't gonna make that much of a difference.

Here is one I had. I could swear it had not been honed a bit. I taped the spine and it surely did not take much to have it splitting hairs. They did not have tape to use back then and some were less than stellar honemeisters.
The ones we restore which have been honed and used a lot are sometimes buggers to get going.
Ones which are as-new are easy!
