Thread: The crown has been broken!

Started restoring my first C&R. I had just finished breadknifing, reaching for rag and it went to the floor. Ugly sound when it hit. Heres what i picked up. The rest with a magnet

On the bright side, there is little question as to whether or not it is salvageable.
Sorry for your loss.

So sad. But now it is a true bread knife. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose!

Good Lord!
It's a sickening feeling isn't it....

Another plus is it was not for a customer.... just your personal razor. (I hope)

Actually i thought so at first but rest of day. Read the post

As above,was probebly not salvageble from the get go.

Agree, it litterally exploded. Got to sweep with magnet. Or find it with my feet

I had a blue diamond at one point, absolutely mint condition, no hone wear to speak of, original finish on the blade, it looked amazing, went to tighten the pivot pin before I honed it for the first time, I dropped it on the concrete floor. It sounded kind of like breaking glass but much louder. It was also a sad day.

Did you get three to replace it?
If so I am going to smash mine and see what happens....

MMMM, I think I have gotten more than three razors since then.
