    Default Taking our a slitght warp in an old blade

    i have an old razor i've been working on honing up to use. i've noticed a slight warp in the blade and was wondering what the best way to take this out was? I was thinking about using a cousre stone until the warp is gone, but worry about taking off too much metal. any suggestions?

    Thanks for the info Jimmy! That's what I've been doing thru far. Because the warp is so slight, I didn't know if it would be possible to be ground out with a course stone or not. The razor in question was in my grandfather's medicine chest and doesn't look like it's been used in a while (tang says it's a Victory #51). Other than the warp, it looks like it would be a nice daily shaver.

    I have honed a couple of warped razors successfully without having to regrind or anything. That rolling x will do it. I wouldn't bother trying to change the spine. I used 1 layer of tape on the spine as a matter of fact.
