Would this be a good straight razor?

I found someone that wants to sell a Robert Knight Straight Razor. The blade looks like it has really been honed a lot and I am wondering if getting it would be worth it.

Here are pictures of it.



These are probably the best view of the blade itself.

What do you guys think?

I don't know. There's a pretty bad nick on the heel and the blade looks really worn down. What's the prize?

 

[harverster]

price is 20 dollars.

I'd take a pass on it.

 

[Thomas Martin]

Me too. Is that rust on the blade or just bad illumination?

 

[harverster]

Thanks for the quick answers guys.

I would say no, Larry can get you a shave ready razor for only $25 delivered. There is much love around here for Larry's work and service, top notch.

I'd skip it. Go with Larry's deal.
