Thread: Question about restoring using a power wheel and how to not over grind the spine area

Shooter, I have 2 wheels for each grit. 80, 120, 220, 320
Utopian, thank you for the comment. Are you referring to taking the frown out of the blade and/or reshaping the spine as well? I have read a lot of threads and posts on bread knifing and I am wondering if that is the process you are referring to. Fire away with the critique, it's the only way I will learn as well as reading and watching the videos posted by the masters.
Kindly

I just posted a before during and after set on a J Rodgers

Pay particular attention to how I used the wheels, and avoided tearing up the original grind lines, and did NOT lose the stamps

There are pressure tricks that you just have to learn over time but also how you use the wheels makes a big difference,,
You have to try and follow the original lines to keep the razor in as good a shape as possible..

Many thanks Dan! I will work away on it. I know it will take lots of time and practice. I will post as I learn.
