This arrived today. So far I just sealed the label. There is a slight dish on the top side so tomorrow I'll lap it. I've been able to go from a 1k bevel to a shavable blade with a No.1 Washita. I'm looking forward to playing with this and seeing how far the edge will go.

Epoxy n horn dust, with a CA coating, made the repair.

This is after the repair. Left scale.
You'd be surprised at what can be done with horn, and epoxy. A backer is not always needed, for strength.

Mike, you are a magician with horn repairs.
Good job, Mike
Think you'll be surprised, Matt.
Try finishing with pure glycerin, instead of oil.
