Thread: Cracked Edge

I have a Frederick Reynolds that had been reground into a half hollow. The regrind had been done a very very long time ago and the blade had a lot of deep patina. As I cleaned it up I noticed the crack by the toe. It lined up almost exactly to the bak of the notched tip. I removed the tip at the crack and then re-profiled it. It turned out well and shaves well, looking at it you would never know it have been modified. As you start to hone they crack out if it starts to move at all stop and cut off the blade. It is fix-able it may not finish the way it starts.
