    Maybe you guys have see these before.

    I have to wait for it to arrive from the states and go through customs which takes years or at least it feels like it.

    I haven't a clue how to deal with these kind of scales either.

    The seller told me a nice story about the blades history which makes it more meaningful to me. I cant wait to get my hands on it.

    Looks to be a 6/8" half hollow grind , from what I see.

    As for the scales.... I agree with Sharptonn. But if you don't like them, I'll be glad to get rid of them for ya. [emoji5] I know how to deal with them. [emoji57]

    Great find, you'll enjoying shaving with it. Guaranteed !!

    Hey boys, I picked this up the other day. The pictures sucked, and I thought it was covered in patina. I've been wanting a CMON, so I went for it. The Blackie come up all the time, and are always slightly out of my price range.

    One swipe with a microfiber cloth, and well, you see just finished honing, shave tomorrow for the career fair!

    It has been honed before, but my guess is once, maybe twice. The wear is even and minimal. Set it on the chosera 1k, then reduced a thick slurry on my Nakayama to a dry paste. It took a very nice edge, and I'll give it a go in the morning.

    Edit: it has some cracking on one side of the third pin, but I can live with that!

    But lets take a look at the grown up side now.
    Bill.... From the bottom of my hart...
    Thank you, very very much.
    First up. Some pipe cleaners that have a abrasive quality about them, wich I've never seen before but got a good idea where I can use them for restorations.
    A disposable scalpel, wich will come in handy for sure.
    And a beautiful, made in USA 4oz
    Pin masher.
    Also two types of shave soaps, that smell great.
