Thanked: 481First time with Fred
I decided it was time for me to start tackling some more intricate repairs instead of just honing out small chips and polishing a bit of rust. So for my First Restore, I chose this Reynolds, which has been bothering me for almost a year. It had a chip out of the front tip of the blade, and I knew it would need a trip to a grinder. First clean up and inspection, which showed a crack in the steel at the chip site, that would necessitate removing more metal than planned. Also ran the risk of the crack running out and who knows how much blade would be ruined then!
But it came out pretty well I think. A "sorta" round point 3/4"
What do you guys think? Finish off the round point by taking in the topside? Or leave him as is?
