Here's the update, excuse the tears. :cry::boohoo::rant:On Quasimoto, I thought I had damaged the razor when I let it get banged in the grinder pretty hard and didn't notice the crack until later. Then the exact same crack appeared at the exact same time, while setting the bevel, on Tyler's razor. I now realize that after grinding the sway in the spine, I gave it a rough look by heating the spine with an oxy-acet torch with the edge sitting in water. this protected the edge but the razor as a whole was stressed. I should have tempered again or skipped the torch treatment. Any way, as soon as I started to hone, this took away enough metal to weaken the edge where it lost the tug of war to internal stress and cracked dead center abiut 1/4" deep.
I am still in Mourning, as I had a lot of time and money invested...but I got some lessons I won't soon forget.
Sorry Tyler, We'll get you another one
