Restored this today "Brittain Wilkinson & Brownell". ("France" Tang Stamp) It is a "Dip-at-Toe" 1780 ish.

It has a satin finish and Silver collars. To be honed tonight. I made sure it has a pretty bevel.. It did have some severe chips at the toe end and a nasty pit on the edge. I have grinded it so that the pit should fade away with a 1k bevel set.
Cheers

I've been at this for over an hour now, the bevel (whole blade) is pitted.. I am making progress with one handed rolling X's on the 1k . It has turned from a nightmare to enjoyment

Gonna take some time to work thru all of that. But, I've been there. Just keep on keeping on. Kill the edge now and then and go more. And go more. And go...

That edge looks way better when you’re not looking at it with a scope. Glad you’re enjoying yourself, it will be worth it when you have a clean face and no weepers.
