Manhatton Cutlery barley visible Have the original broke scales but someone butchered the blade any ideas on how to fix?

Thanks for lookin

For the most part, your collection looks in good shape. Looks to me you have a great starter collection.

Here’s where it can get interesting:

The Morley looks to have a frown. You should think about fixing that.

Normally the edge should follow the spine contour. That would mean putting a smile on the Wostenholm and the Manhattan Cutlery. It looks like someone has honed the edges straight.

You can read about how to correct these issues in the honing forum. I’m sure one of the more senior honers will jump in with suggestions.

Kunstschliff? Funny name.
This one had has some serious honing done. Ive never seen a stabilizer so far past the edge before. Thats going to need some serious stabilizer work. Read up on reshaping the heal. Its not too hard to do and a few of your razors can benifit from this. You have a nice start in restoring. Remember honing takes practice. The rolling x is your friend!

Nice start.

I have a Meier, just like yours. Had to make scales for it.

Some nice options in your kit mate
I love the scalloped spines but The Manhattan has unfortunately been breadknife “the wrong way”, and would have had a nice smile originally, which could be honed/ground back into the edge but is not eccencial for use, would only be cosmetically wanted now
