Complete rough out. Cross-section is lenticular. The surface is mainly bruised with flaking on the sides, butt and bevel. Very minor differentiation between the butt and the blade. The proper right side tapers out then curves back in at the poll but the proper left side is straight. The blade was been started to be worked on and there is a slight demarcation with a curved line at the chin. The bevel has large chips missing on the proper left side. The cutting edge is slightly curved but blunt.
