Thread: Need help figuering out if a straight is worth it...

thanks, everyone :]
I guess this blade will make a good practice blade for cutting, although now I discovered some cell-rot damage on the spine, so I think I'll just clean it, oil it and keep it for display... just until I get a buffer and then it will make a good practice blade for it :]

Too bad.. The scales had the initials of a previous owner on it.. Made me connect to this blade more than the others...

Hone it, see if there is any good metal there.
Why do you want to save it?
Sometimes, you just have to stop CPR.
There are other patients that require your attention.

Don't know, actually... I oddly respect my razors.. they're little pieces of history which I wish I was part of..
I guess you're right... I'll oil it and store it... at least until I finish building my display\cemetery :]

I always set the bevel to see if there is good steel there or not, then move on from there.
