My Dad must have sharpened this up after the last time we used it, because the blade looks just too good. The handle is another story, you can see the awful shape it's in and it is not the original, I don't know who shaved it up like that but what a contrast to you guys' clean work. Here it is, cobwebs and all.

Bower the shaving on the handle is from whacking it on the other end to get it to tighten up so it want fly off.
That is a good product and in need of a new handle.
