Antique Store find

[malice669]

Found this while visiting my parents in buffalo, 15 dollars. Definitely needs to be honed as the blade edge is slightly chipped but it looks like a good find otherwise, what do you guys think and can anyone recommend a decent place to get it honed.

A nice looking blade, though that discoloration at and above the edge... Hopefully she'll take an edge.

Wow, cool blade. That's a looker.

I'd say for 15 bones that blade was worth taking a chance on. Send it to a reputable honemeister and you will have around $50 invested in a blade that should outlast us all. Nice snag!

A fine find and at that price you did not risk much. The blade looks like it will just fine with some work from an experienced hand. Enjoy!
