By the look of it a complete restore would be entirely possible. Nice razor

It is in nice shape, it looks like it could be honed and used as is! What are your plans for it regarding scales?

I would say yes...
But am a bit concerned with how deep the pits are near the edge, at the heal on the front side. If its just staining, your good to go.

scales are another issue. I Like customs scales, but that can get pricey. The blade itself is in my budget. but if you guys think this can be restored to like new I'll buy it. If I can get it it will be my first Japanese straight baby!

The hone wear looks nice and even. The corrosion looks shallow. I am jumping into the yes camp too. If the price is right for you then snap it up.
