Thread: W&B with an uneven smile- breadknifing or honing?

I just bought a Wade & Butcher which I thought looked slightly off while I was examining it at the antique store, and this was confirmed when I got home. In the picture you can see how at about a quarter and half way through the edge there are two separate contact points with back light shining through the middle of them where the edge rises. The blade also has a smile, more of a smirk really, since its pretty one sided. This does not bother me but the uneven arc of the blade does and though I'm sure this will vary depending on opinion, I thought I would ask those with experience if it would be best (or if I even have the option for that matter) to breadknife the blade or hone it down to a smooth arc. In addition if you could tell me where to get the best advice on either method that would be great.

Also if anyone knows when the blade was manufactured I would love to know. There is a very faint inscription on the shank that says "Wade & Butcher's Famous Keen Shaving Bow Razor" and on the other side there is a kind of two hilled symbol of which I provided a picture. There is no inscription on the blade itself, the scales seem to be made of wood and the spacer is metal. Hope that narrows it down.
