    hold the blade to a light bulb looking down toward the bulb you'll see if the plains are flat n smooth it was done right. if you see wavy or worse a washboard it was done by amateur.

    Looks very restorable. Oil well and wrap in tightly rolled newspaper. Saya is no longer protective. Maybe keep in hard gun case or stiff tube.
