Whoever Honed it should have dealt with the issue,thats just wrong.

Don't worry none of you guys on here. Also could have been postal service. So leaving it at that.

Just to be clear. Side the blade is cutting into is side on"anvil", or the side I'm striking? Sorry inexperienced newb.

I REALLY think you should at the very least post a pic, from what you are saying this might not be as simple as you are thinking..

But hey, learning to make new scales is fun too

Hope these are clear enough. Pretty much all sides.

Anvil side, I am understanding side down in contact with anvil. Tap that side 3 times and assess . When this happened to me it moves the blade away from the anvil/contact side. You should be using a ball peen hammer. I use a smaller hammer and I polish the rounded side. I recommend you do the same. Your not driving nails in wood. It has been said to tap with the same pressure as you would hit your thumbnail without wanting to hurt yourself. Keep us posted.

To the OP, do not overthink this,is not rocket science

IDK

I guess try it and see, can't really tell to much other then the pin on the backside looks like it was never Peened much at all..

Do you know if these are original to the razor ???

Edit: looking closer it seems that the backside washer may be a "Crush" washer is the front side a Bullseye looking nailhead ????

Yes this straight has alot of wonky things going on. But the fact that a newb got this far , and is picture and in the library my heart goes out to him. Thanks for weighing in . New Guy this poster is pretty much the go to guy. When I quoted the guy in the video, this is him. Point his input holds weight and he wants all of us to succeed.

Washer definitely looks crushed. Afraid took no photos before sending out. All scales original as far as can tell. Assuming if crush washer were original, the same would have been used at bottom of scales? Do not remember washers looking like this before. One or two of the razors may have needed descaling for restoration but the Kropp only needed honing so cannot see why it would have had them removed.
