And I bet, if that were the only knife you had right now, you'd be fine. It sure is beauty! 
I am always impressed when I see a knife such as that one, used so much, and sharpened so many times. What makes a knife like that practical is the reshaping of the primary bevel. Once in a while a picture of a knife on its way to looking like that Robeson shows up on the Old Knives thread, and I always find myself admiring the pleasing shapes of the blades on these lovingly maintained knives.
I have given up on several knives because a sharpening bevel got too wide, I've only begun recently to grind away at the primary bevel to keep a few knives going strong. I haven't used up a knife that much though, and I hope I live long enough to get close with a couple.
