How do you fix a Cracked Blade???

Well I am not sure how you do it, but this is how I do it

Take one 8/8 George Savage Hollow grind, just a true olé beauty...

But hidden deep in the patina is a crack, if you look close in this before pic you can barely make it out..

Here let me help you

Now I decide that instead of trying to hone that out

I would do a bit of modifying to it Muhahahaha

This is the blade after some of them but not quite done, yet !!!

I had a set of the Snakeskin acrylic blanks from Phil over at Masecraft that he had sent me a sample of to check out and somehow it just seemed to fit with this razor.. "The Savage Baby Rattler" with all SS and Nickel Silver hardware and Brass bearing washers... The wedge is Honey Horn leftover from my last restore, I honed it up last night on my Coticule and shaved it this morning. I gave it a nice slight smile when I cleaned up all the chips on the edge and that combined with the short blade make this one a sweet razor for under the jawline

Alan if you're really nice I will send this back home to you

Sweet, I like it. Thought you were putting that one on the back burner for later on. Bet you couldn't wait to play and make something work with it. I'd say you did great. I'm super glad I didn't have to throw that blade out.

LOL You nailed that dead on brother, I figured I could mess with it while I finish up your last 2

Nice save Glen. Looks awesome.

OR, instead of fixing it, you sell it on ebay as a mint razor and someone like me ends up picking it up and finds the crack....When that happens I usually run into the bathroom and do the scene from crying game and dwimper like a small child....not saying that has happened to me before or anything...

Sweet work again Glen. Those scales are really nice, and the blade turned out pretty nice as well.

**pcg** · 09-08-2011, 12:48 AM

Ingenious decision. I love the exaggerated curve you created that lopped off that crack. Very modern.

Beautiful save Glen. It ended up with beautiful lines. Did you Dremmel that baby?
