    Near Wedge by all looks.

    Luckily for you, the near wedge Halma has enough meat on it where you can take care of that cell rot and have a clean razor afterwards. Also, that Kane & Keyser being a hollow grind will be easier to fix that frown that has begun...

    No idea of years for these razors.

    Any sense in keeping the Roffler scales?

    Yea, ended up breaking the tip off of the Kane & Keyser. Still some buffing and polishing to go, but I think my new "guinea pig" looks not half-bad. Name:  IMG_20131005_191955.jpg

    How did you break it?

    Since I don't have a bench grinder with the right attachment, I began with a dremel. I know it's a last resort or even a no-no. But with my travels coming up, I wont get a chance to indulge. So, I mistakenly oriented the dremel spin direction against the cutting edge, and when it reached the tip... snap! I now have it on a block of soft pine. So, lesson learned.

    I was wearing proper safety equipment: safety glasses, mask, and gloves. I have worked with metal before, but never requiring such finesse.
