These straights are a bit of a mess, but I think 1 or 2 might be salvaged. I'm here to let the pros weigh in. Do I have anything nice on my hands, or just a hot mess of steel and plastic?
Thanks,

There is a Charles Slateray's Peruvian Steel Sheffield scaled in 1-piece wood. The biggest of the three.
The "Carbo Magnetic" Griffon is pretty banged up and the scales are throw-away, but I wanted something to practice cleaning up, and the etching was too cool to pass up! So for $6, I picked it up.
Then there's the C.C. Simmons Keen Kutter from... wait for it... Simmons Hardware in a really nice celluloid set of scales. The spine on that blade has a really cool "hand hammered" looking pattern on it.
