Thread: Do I have a W&B Sheffield?

That one looks do-able from the pics (never a good indicator) the chip looks to be only about bevel deep so it should pop right outta there...

The rust along the bottom edge of the spine is going to be tuff to get loose but it will with enough work...

It goes a tad above it, then again you'd be much better at judging it than me. I'll take a close up picture of the chip and try to post it later tonight.

It did look to be a bit above the bevel, but there looked like there might be enough blade to salvage.

Here is that close up shot.

If it was me I might send that one out and have a pro re do that for you. It really is a lot of metal to remove. If you know what you are doing you can do it on the hones but it is a long hard road IME. It took me hours of honing to get this one out of there and I was working it on a 325 diamond plate to begin with.

The more I think about it the more I'm convinced that'd be the right choice.

It can be done, looks like ther would still be enough razor left to look good.
