Thread: Can this be fixed to shave again????

I love those PM's and E-mails, I open them with a bit of trepidation every time, not really knowing what I am going to see...

This was the original pic




Then I asked for some drawings with the razor to get an idea of what was wanted, and I got this, and the statement "Try not to shorten the blade" hmmmmm




So I think I pulled if off pretty well, flattened the round nose a bit then rocked it on the grinder to even it up and finally met the cracked part of the edge up with the new grind using a DMT 325 and slow hand work..







Edge length before I started 2.499 edge length after I finished 2.497
This little Helje just needs to be honed up again now...

great save Glen.
That letter just cracked me up

Looks like it was made that way. Great work.

I've been hearing of a few blade injuries lately & recommended you for the surgery. 'Would just make me dirge for days, having that happen to such a lovely blade. 'Looks like an ivory scaled MK 31 I sold to a member.

If it were my blade, I'd be awful dang glad you do such nice work.

Well done Glen. It almost looks like nothing had ever happened.

It was and he listened to you and sent it out

I don't think he would be able to tell the difference with such a minor bit taken off. Looks like a new factory blade.

Smooth work, Glen!

Suuuuuuuweet

Looks great Glen! You do seem to have the magic hands. Congratulations on a fantastic save.
