I won this W&B 5/8 wedge through eBay. Noticed there's pitting on the edge. What's the best way to fix it?

Not sure what is the exact terms. Chips perhaps? Shall I bread knife it?

To get you started there is a primer in the library Honing a damaged blade - Straight Razor Place Library . There are also some long threads on the subject in the honing forum too.

Not that big of a deal. It will hone out.

If you're going to fix pitting at the edge, I'm going to strongly recommend obtaining a 1K hone - or maybe even something more coarse than that. You're going to need to hone passed the pitting, whether it be by bread knifing and grinding that section out or by simply honing until the pitting is gone. And it can be a real PITA no matter which way you go about it.
I do have a knife sharpening stone which is about 400. Would that suffice?Quote:

400 would take out that area of concern but you will need a good progression of hones to work up to your 12k. Most important thing is resetting the bevel on something like a 1k. Without a good bevel it will never be a shaver. I'm still fairly new to honing. I picked up a norton 220/1k and 4k/8k combos from SRD and they work great. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong but a 4/8 combo maybe all you need. I think I remember reading about some guys setting bevels in the 4k side it would just take a little longer. Hope that helps

Might be good for hogging out steel, I've got a few carborundum hardware store knife hones I use for exactly that purpose. But I would still recommend a good 1K stone to follow up with and help bridge the gap between your rough 400 stone and the C12K. I imagine it would be possible to work 400 grit hone striated out with a thick slurry, but I also imagine it would take a lot of time. I've done 2 stone with a 1K and a C12K, that isnt too terrible. I haven't tried from anything more coarse than that.
Highly appreciate your advice. I will try to obtain a 1k stone. It's pretty rare here, otherwise, will have to get it shipped from overseas. Here in Malaysia, SR is an extinct art form[emoji1]Quote:

There a lot of hones in Japan.
Would you be able to give an indication on the price range? Any Web site?, thanksQuote:

Prices will range from $50.00 on up. Try ebay I'm not sure about shipping charges. Perhaps a place that sell knives will be able to find a distributor for you. We take for granted our easy access to equipment. Good luck.
Thanks for the info. I envy you guys in the States. Everything is accessible. [emoji12]Quote:
