    Looks like a little swiss cheese on the edge there...or is that a photo anomaly? Hope it hones out well.

    Very nice fines! While the scales are not the prettiest ever made I would consider keeping them where they are and rescaling razors that have broken scales and good blades. To me and lots of other people, original is more valuable that pretty.

    You may also want to consider getting at least the Henckels professionally honed. Once you start down the honing path it will still take a while to get good at it and that Henckles should be enjoyed to it's fullest!

    Wow great job on the W&B cleanup. What did you use to clean out all the rust?
    or if you could refer me to a forum link with the info. Would be great!

    Just used some sand paper gently by hand and a flap wheel on a wood lathe running slow to round off the toe where the chunk was missing. After honing it up a bit I have actually shaved with it a few times and am leaving it rustic.
    Check out the Wiki here n SRP for tutorials on restorations.
    here is a better pic of it.
