I vote for using it. But then again I have several blades I have not used since I have others in the same size that I do use. but my rationalizing is that I have them. I am at a constant battle to keep, sale, or trade stuff that I have not used. I would rather buy used blades anyway, then the first swing or use is not too bad LOL.

Men you can't trust, women you can't trust, beasts you can't trust, but Bussekin steel you can trust
