I think he is shoving the blade back from the wedge. Unpinning the bottom and trimming the wedge is proper.
OR, there is the 'Holy Hacksaw Blade"!

I like it for repairing horn scales.

24 hours i believe.. i got time.

I have some dyed horn scales on a Joseph Rogers that have some chunks missing. Good to know..

I was trying this. I have a very thin pull saw that fits between the scales. Before i was able to remove enough of the wedge for the point of the blade to clear it, i began to saw into the wedge pin. I sawed into the pin a bit just to see if i could get the point to clear but it would not.

I tried the bushing and i could see it was very close to closing freely. After i fit the shim the blade closed no problem.

The point of this razor has a smell bend about 1/8" above the edge. It looks like someone already closed it on the wedge and bent it. Im trying to make sure i do not do the same.

The only way to close this razor before i added the bushing was to leave it just open, force the blade back toward the pivot.. it would click into place.. and then you could close it.

It was compromising the integrity of the blade, so i corrected it or at least.. im attempting to.

And it sounded so promising. OH WELL!

JB.Weld is better answer. Cheap and water proof.

I should have continued on my post as the JB is the next try. I tried using it a few years ago but it 'pushed out' when I went to drill so I figured that;
A: I didn't get the oil out
B:I didn't get the ID roughed up enough
C: I didn't know what the hell I was doing
D: All of the Above

I think that D would be the correct answer:w
