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

    In sure Einstein messed every once and awhile. Part of being a inventor or artist that's part of the game. And I'll be sure to email you a pic or the razor I would like today
