    Default Is this slightly curved W&B blade worth bidding on?

    I saw this blade-only auction on eBay. My hope is to buy it and get it across to Glen for the resto, but...

    If you look at the view-from-above pic, it shows the blade curves to the right. Is this a deal-breaker, or is it fixable?

    Opinions from all please.

    I think if you are going to send it to me anyway, you should just make it easy on yerself and send me a pm with the type and brand of blade you are really after and I will find one that I know is restorable and you will save money in the long run


    EDIT: Yeah let me pull my big fat foot outta my mouth as I just opened my Website e-mail

    It would be a PITA to hone having that radical a sideways curve.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Default I dream of notches...

    Glen - I've sent you a longer note on your website. Should save me clogging up SRP with photos of all the blades I'm currently watching on the Bay!!

    Thank you everyone for steering me away from this one.
