Is there a fix for a dropped razor?

Hi,
I am in the middle of my first restoration. I have sanded with 300 grit and all the way up to 1200. About 10 hours invested so far.
Tragically I dropped the blade on tiles from about half a meter. It landed on the tip of the cutting edge and bent it slightly.
So I was wondering if it is ok to bend it back or will the steel crack?
Hopefully someone can assist butter fingers.
:o

Nope . Sorry to say that steel is now fatigued & will likely crack if you try to flex it.
Any pics ?

pics please!

Ouch! That must have hurt.

Now that one hurts, sorry about that happening to you, I would never admit to having done anything like that myself[i've done that myself] but there's one thing I know is for "Almost' any wonky bit of work[screw up] there is a fix, and the man is correct, you need to get some photos up and some of the more experianced members can take a look and help with a fountanhead of expertise. Not me, I mean the others, the good ones at this craft.

Don't let the drop put you off, keep working and enjoying the craft.

Here it is, it was a little tricky to get a photo that shows it well.

There is hope. Read this post to see how well a dropped razor can be repaired. http://straightrazorpalace.com/works...can-fixed.html

I can't tell how much of a bend you have there but as it's a roundpoint it would be easy enough to continue the original shape if you trim it a little. You could even increase the radius a little. Essentially all you need do is 'breadknife' the whole toe from spine to edge into the desired shape & clean up the burr.
