Thread: Shumate cracked

Hey all I got a razor on the bay from a blurry picture and it arrived with a crack... It's a shumate toungsteel snt Luis. eBay refunded and said keep it so I'm tempted to use it. That part of the blade doesn't seem any more flexible by fingernail than the rest .should I just use it as is and oil the crack? Or wax? I was going to hone it tonight and see if it goes normally.

How hot to mess with the heat treatment? I was thinking of putting the edge in warm water and soldering the crack quick with 60/40. Or would that make more stress than allowing the blade to heat a bit. Can I re heat treat it in a oven?

Any thoughts?
