Back of handle

Saw-41
Price: $30.00 plus shipping

Condition: Straightened by seller, sharp, with an interesting granular "meteroric" etch pattern throughout both sides, and with a uniform blue-black magnetite patina revealed by scraping all of the red rust off with a sharpened chisel. Th blade also has Atkins' etch, but it is illegible without sanding of the blade.

The apple handle is nearly perfect, with only toolbox dings, and a tight check on the back side.
