Keen Kutter got a tip fix, breadknifed the slight frown out of it, hand sanded the blade, and bocote scales w/CA. Honed it to my version of shave-ready, this one is a gift to LarryAndro since he sent me 4 free blades to practice honing with. Kept the original bearing washers and wedge to give it some character.

The barbers notch needed aggressive breadknifing to correct a very uneven edge and chips. Hand sanded the blade, curly maple scales w/CA, original wedge. Needed a lot of time on the DMT 325 to grind out that breadknifing, but it is shave sharp now.

Thoughts/comments? complimentary or critical welcome.
