Welcome to the Hall of Fame of Badger and Blade, Richard.

Salt cellar? Is this what you mean?

Here's a black glaze terracotta from the 5th Century B. C. Athens, Greece.

Welcome to the Badger and Blade! :badger:No need to fear the straight. I don't use one but they are just another sharp tool. :001_smile I've been hesitant because I already sharpen chisels, planes, handsaws, mortise chisels, more handsaws etc. I leave table saw blades and band-saw blades to a friend who does that for a living. I'm just kind of sharpened out and love having the DEs to open and go!
 
Yes that is a salt cellar some people call them salt dips. I don't have anything that old. I collect just the ones that strike my fancy.
 
Welcome [MENTION=110096]Old beard[/MENTION].... about time you showed up....

When did you pick up the Fatboy? Or did you always have it and just got seduced by the cartridges adverts?
I stay away from straights and electrics as well.

I got it at antique shop here in town about a week ago for a big price of $5.00. It cleaned up real easy. Dawn soap, toothbrush and toothpaste scrub.
