I'm clearing out some space on the bench and I realize that this and a couple other blades have sat around neglected to quite some time.

It is about 0.16" thick, about 1.15" wide at the base of the blade, 6" blade length and a hair over 10" overall. It is forged, rough ground and heat treated, made from one of the many Nicholson mill/bastard files I wear out in the shop.
Not every knifemaker is a smith, and not everybody wishing to start in the knifemaking hobby or to have a handmade knife is yet ready to be. If anybody might like to bring it back to life by finishing it, I propose an auction. Bidding to start at $6, by $0.50 minimum increments and auction to end at 12:00am (midnight) Friday 02/06/2015.
This must be open to confirmed PayPal members, and I'm afraid I will only ship to US addresses.
What say you, Wolf Pack?
