    You could do the third, and bring the base of the heel in a bit more like the first.
    That would give you that nice smooth curve, and match the angle of the toe.

    Default HE DID IT

    I couldnt resist any longer so I went to town on it with the dremel. Once the radius was cut the shoulder remnants looked terrible imo, so I made a bold decision and decided to sacrifice the maker markings for a smooth look by continuing the hollowing.

    Shame about losing the stamps but at least you have a workable razor now

    Yea It was a hard decision - though it gives me a good reason to find a NON-cracked wade & butcher minter now!

    Yep, I had to do that to my DOVO awhile back..I lent it to a cherry and he dropped it..Came back with a crack on the heel, so I put it on the drill press (with a small sanding drum) and turned it into a shouderless..I actually like it better now.. It shave like a bismark.

    I have a W&B Special with the same point. I recently sold a Bow that also had that point. Must be factory and I think it's very cool that a company would go the extra mile to do something like that to distinguish there product from all others.
