    Default found at a local junk shop

    Stopped by a local shop. This is an old W&B wedge, or near wedge. Someone seemed to have taken a file to the edge. Sorry for the crappy pics, but the phone kept focusing on anything but the blade.
    The tag said 40, he offered to sell for 20.
    I may offer him 10, but my question is if the edge has been ruined? Will it take a complete regrind? That would be beyond me.

    There is almost a double bevel, especially on the one side.

    That shouldn't be a problem once the chips are removed. Just an indication of how much work it was for someone else.

    I agree it looks salvageable but will be work. Looks like it will need sanding and then a good bit of time on the hones.
