I figured I wouldn't go too wrong with these at $17 for the pair, picked them up on Ebay for practice honing but would like to be able to use them if they can be made good. The corrosion doesn't look too terrible at the business edge of the blades.



I'll be ordering Bill's restoration disk in time but have needed so much stuff to get started with straights that I don't want to push The Missus too far on tolerance for my hobbies.

Is there anyone who does restorations for a fee?
