Sad, but there is still a lot of blade there on which to set a new bevel after getting rid of the scars.

The blade is totally salvagable. With some 220 wet/dry sandpaper to clean the damage (rough stuff) then a progression up to 1200 grit (finish) you will be amazed at what you can do and save this fine blade. Set the bevel and hone and strop. It will be just like new. Good luck to you!

Thank you very much gentlemen
The width is a tad over 7/8"
Damage goes up to 7/8"
Wld you advise to bread knifing the blade (watched the Youtube vids by Gssixgun ) ?
Cheers

That is exactly what I had to do with a Puma with a chip in the blade.
That gssixgun video was excellent guidance for me.

I'd say go by Glem vid on repairing. It's good info. Then after you got that corrected, Fix the stabilizer as it will be too long and in the way of the blade. After all that, you should be good for cleaning and honing.

Agreed - always a shame to see these beauties injured.
But "breadknife" that razor, and it can be saved, and you will resurrect it to new life.....:-)bartds likes this.

It is a good thing this is a 7/8"+ blade. Even if you have to go down as far as 13/16", you will still have plenty of steel remaining. Don't forget to post photos of this after the restoration; we love photos.
