Thread: bent razor

I grind those kind of dings out all the time. But then you do have to re-hone them.....hahahahahaha.

Like Sham says, you will loose a little steel in the process.

The one I had was way worse and up further than the bevel. I would have thought that tempered steel like that of a full hollow would break out before it would warp/bend like that.

what do you mean by grind them out, lynn? i'm a newbie and i just got the 4k/8k norton stone that you recommend in your video. should i just use that? what process would you recommend as far as number of strokes etc? thanks for all the help so far guys

It will be a chip the next time you do anything at all with the blade. It isn's so deep it can't be saved though - it will hone out.

Breadknife out and a rehone?

Before anything take a butcher's steel and straighten the bend
then reset the bevel and hone it.

You won't lose any steel worth mentioning.

If you don't have a steel, use a car window.

If it's chip you will lose only the size of the chip.
