I've seen MANY razors that were damaged in some way that made them useless as razors, but left some great steel for somebody who was adequately skilled with a grinder. In fact, I have a Henkel's 401 with a crack half way through the blade, about half way down the length. It would probably be a prime candidate for something like this, and would make a really beautiful little knife in the right hands.
