    I really wonder why you would do that to the spine, just sad.

    What I find surprising is that it's at the seller's site at all! Normally they only sell quality razors and any that have frowns or other problems are discounted accordingly .

    Once a razor now a knife.

    Because peoploe can't hone uneven razors, so they watch and read about grinding the spine to even it up and do stupid crap...

    What a serious loss of a once great razor

    I was 99.9% sure, should have put a laughing smiley in the title. I held out 0.1% there was some magic repair technique I was ignorant about. I can't image the issue that had to even consider doing that to the spine . And the asking price is $200, just bewildering.
