Thread: Little nick

just kidding,

I bought this razor on ebay for the scales. any idea what I could do with the blade besides binning it.

Thats for shaving around your eyebrows I think.

Wow - I always wonder how these end up that way... Where's your intestinal fortitude?? - hone it out!

James.

grind it down, slap a straight handle on it and you got a nasty paring knife.

Nice scales, they would go nice on any of the fancy schmancy Dovo blades....hmmmm schweeeet...

Yeah, grind her down and see if she shaves...she might shave really good...

You heard the old addage that ugly babes are better in bed than hotties...they have to work harder to and make the effort to keep a guy interested...

I got a henckel started out as a 3/4 with an ugly nick now she's a 5/8 and shaves fine...

agree

or... grind it down, add a straight handle and you've got a beautiful Dovo letter opener... beautiful Dovo parmesan cheese shaver... anything but throw it in the bin mate.

Any tips on to grind it down with a dremel or an angle grinder (that all I got)
other than that there is a machine shop in work.
So what would be the ideal way to go about this and the do it what with what you got way to go at it.

I'd go with the dremel the metal is bloody thin and will melt away from the disk/drum.

Do you have any of the paper thin abrasive cut-off wheels that usually come with the dremel? I would be inclined to use a straight edge as a guide and use one of these to slice the blade just above the chip.

Then you could probably use sanding disks and/or a sharpening stone to re-profile the leading edge.

Depending on what you're going to make out of the broken blade, be mindful not to let it get too hot during cutting or you may destroy the temper of the steel.

It's impossible to measure from a photo, but if you were really careful you might just be able to make a 3/8 or 2/8 razor out of that.
Obviously that would require a lot of thinning at the spine to achieve the thickness/width ratio to allow you to set a proper bevel.
