First post - new to sight but long time lurker here - just picked up a Western Cutlery Co. (Boulder, CO) straight at a local antique shop for $6. plenty of rust but no etching on the blade and the scales are warped - black celluloid I think. I figured I'd give this one a go before getting into restoring some of the more ornate straights I have collected over the years.
