It seems to be in good shape, i tried to strop it with my wicked edge strops, but i think im doing it wrong. Il try to get some edge pics up sooner today. Thanks guys

Just keep working at it you'll get it. Then tell us how it shaves. DM

Nice find. And a good buy too. The Twinworks stuff goes for a good price.

Is it straight? I mean, does the edge lay perfectly flat on a flat surface or does it bend a little? If it isn't exactly straight, I'd say you've payed too much. It looks nice, but I've payed no more than 5-10 USD each for all of mine of equal looks. Having said that, none of them were perfectly straight, so it's a bitch to sharpen them.
