    If you have a Dremel, use the flexible shaft attachment. It will give a lot more control for delicate work.

    That is TRUE! I should have stayed that. The way it sounded it was like it was a BIG chip.
    If it's more of a DING then yeah a diamond plate or a 1k stone will do it!

    Ed,

    Yeah, I agree, that was my first impression too, but thought I'd cover the more conservative approach just in case it's not too significant.

    Best Regards,

    Howard

    I think Tom's correct about how the new system works, I click on computer then the Basic Downloader and find the picture I want to post. I have a ton of pictures so I usually copy and past the one I want on the desktop so that it's easy to find, and then delete it after it's uploaded. Oh, it can take awhile to show up once you tell it to upload.

    Looking forward to some pics.

    Doesn't look too bad. I've fixed up a couple of razors in similar condition with chip at toe. Just reshape to fix. I've done by hand as well as used a slow moving water cooled grinder called a Tormek. Most important to keep cool if using any kind of power equipment be that dremel or grinder. Doesn't take much so go slow and have a shape in mind - maybe draw it on blade with marker. Give it a go, you'll be fine. Lou

    I agree, as its saveable, I've done some that were about the same, just take your time, I've never used any power tools I have used a DMT to to that removal and I work from the spine to the edge.

    Use a sharpie and get your curvature so you can keep it like you want it. You don't want to have to go back and reset the curve Again

    Should be fine. When it's done you can show people the before pics and then show them how you saved it.

    Take your time, and enjoy repairing it.

    Finished Product Pictures Please.

    Yep... looks like a DMT is all you need.
    EASY FIX!

    I'm sure that you felt terrible when you dropped it, at least it's salvageable

    Here's one that I had come in very recently.

    Here it is almost finished repairing the AW CRAP but Before cleaning up the blade:

    After the last pic I lowered the angle to finish rounding so that the edge would be easier to restore. It was Rob's W&B and he didn't want to send it as he figured it was toast and would only be a display or conversation piece. I'm glad he let me have a go at it as he liked the shave AND the way it looks

    The W&B was a very heavy grind from what I can see of yours it much more hollow so the work will take a lot less time and effort.

    Please remember to post After Pictures!

    Here's some pics at his thread about them:
