Thread: Wade and Butcher

Rescale for sure. Hone it through the corrosion at the bevel until you get to good solid steel before you mess with scales or other restoration efforts. You want to be sure the corrosion isn't so deep that the edge will fall apart before you do more resto to it.

I have been working on the blade and ordered some dovo scales as a replacement. It looks like the blade will be decent after a little more work.

I was wrong. The pitting was deep. And I learned a lesson about using dremels.

If I may, I sounds like you might have tried to teach yourself restoration before learning how to hone. This is why it's often a bad idea to buy an old eBay razor to learn to hone with - if you want to learn to hone, you shouldn't make matters more diffecult buy starting on a razor that needs more than just honed.

This isn't meant to kick you while you're down, btw, just to help you and others, since it's a common problem.

No offense taken. Learned a lesson and I have a Dubl Duck that just needed honing now. Learning on that. No restoring needed.
