If that's on the toe, maybe shorten it & scale to the new size,,,:shrug:
I thought about that Hirlau. Removing the damage would make it about a 2 3/8 blade. Would that make it a appropriate length for a shorty ?

Know what you are feeling. Had that happen twice myself and it did not feel good.

Yup, been there, done that. I have a little box holding three or four such. When I get the heart to do it, maybe I'll turn them into shorties, but really, the main reason I keep them is magical thinking. Every now and then, I open the box and look inside, cherishing a small superstitious hope that the crack won't be there. Needless to say, it always is.
2 3/8 cutting edge is perfect shorty length! It will make a nice one.
I had a very nice W&B almost 8/8 that I sent to Mycarver when he started cleaning it up he noticed a crack in the middle of the blade. We were both very sad. He actually seemed more upset than I did. You can tell he has a love for these razors.
