Thread: Could this even be honed?

I was gonna say
He's been watching Dr.Matt. videos.

That's just a cryin' shame. A prime example of what can happen when you attempt something you have no business doing.
On the other hand maybe it was something like that scene in that movie "The War of the Roses" where he was sawing the heels off all of her Italian pumps.

Maybe he was trying to make a lovely double sided razor? It would make stropping a chore, but I cant figure out what he was up to.

It can definitely be honed freehand like a knife. Stropped like a knife also.

Matt posted a technique he uses for Uneven spines/blades, he and I are friends but we disagree on this one thing

To me, it is sacrilege to intentionally grind a spine because you don't know how to hone properly, but once again if there is an "Easy Way" many people will follow

King C Gillette was thinking along those lines too

Nothing that half a roll of tape won't take care of, that's for sure. Just ugly to look at.

I think maybe MrZ was on the right track of making a Faux Frameback out of it, might be easier to fit a Brass / Steel tube to the spine and hone it up

I did it once some time back but that razor was made that way originally

He was confused, thought it was a Gold Dollar.

Yes, it can be honed, make a frame-back spine with a piece of hard plastic or brass tubing, You will have to take some spine and blade measurements to get the spine width right, so you get the proper blade angle.

Fortunately, there are tons of Wade Butchers in the wild, they were the Ford model A razor of the day.

Just another regrind. Nothing to get excited by
