    1750 rpm bench grinder with muslin wheel. Just caught it just right and out of my hands. I knew better. Just glad I was not hurt and a good reminder to always wear safety glasses.

    #1 to glasses, keep a pair on all my work benches. So when I'm being lazy and dont want to chase down a pair, there's always a pair within reach

    Maybe it's my imagination but that looks like a fracture that was already present - the shape just looks like it was going to happen in any event. A great pity because I love covered tangs. Here's one I covered in G10.

    My service is good, fast and cheap. Select any two and discount the third.

    I don't think all is lost yet. You might be able to make a shorty out of it and still have a good travel razor. You have a lemon, now see if you can make some lemonade.

    Yep. Did that to one I have.
    Didn't see the crack when I bought it. So I ground out the heal.

    Great idea. I've got nothing to lose now so might as well continue on the journey and maybe learn some new things as I go. I'll post pics when I've made some progress.
