It arrived! A Titan ACRM-2 blade with dark Mahogany scales. It came with a zippered case, double leather/demin strop, whetstone, stropping wax, blade oil, cleaning cloth and a plastic comb.
The blade is 6/8 with an edge bevel of 17.8deg and edge length of about 70mm. Out of the box it would not pass the HHT. A bit of stropping, first on denim with wax and then clean leather fixed that. I would like to thank my housemaid for donating the hair.
I am guessing that the whetstone is about 8k to 10k. It still shows some faint cutting scores so I will lap that smooth before it sees the edge.
There is a problem with the scales but I will raise that matter in the restoration forum.
Total cost, including delivery, USD 28.
Once I get use to using this SR, I will probably start looking for a better one.
