Patches,

Maybe you can get a decent shave from this blade provided that the corrosion/pitting doesn't interrupt the properly set bevel from heel to toe.

As long as your bevel is not compromised by pitting, you may well be good to go at least until you hone the blade to the point that the bevel hits the pitting.

A 10x jewelers loupe will be of much help in determining the condition of your bevel. Go for it.
