Thread: W&B edge crumbling at macro level.

[QUOTE=Joed;535329]
2) From the pics you posted here it looks like the blade has 'Devil's Spit' or something very similar. While running some of my junk blades over greasless compound and practicing my style on the buffers I have found that blades that have the same appearance as the one you picture have the metal decay well below the surface. There are some that I ground a lot of metal off to get below the pitting. At the grit level you are working at the pitting may not be apparent as you may be rolling a burr into the pits/weaker metal. The only way to get past this is to hone away.

I would have to +1 here

Looking at the pic right where the double scratch line is on the background go up and left see the pitting in the bevel??? look 3 times that distance to the right where the jagged reverse tear is see the pitting????...

I think you have a lot of honing to go, or none at all....
