Thread: Restoring a PUMA

Hi,
I just bought this PUMA on Ebay but it has some problems:

- The blade has been honed in the part near the tang, maybe to eliminate some serious chip or nick (see pic 1) and now the edge is not linear.

- The scales, that I like very much, are PUMA but not for this blade, because the razor can't close completely and the bade stops near the scales because they're smaller (pics 2-3).

Do someone know how to restore it? Is it better to change the scales or to cut the point of the razor to reduce the lenght and make it finally close completely? As you can see in pic the contact point is leaving some marks on the rounded point, maybe it will damage with continuous opening/closing.

Second, is it better to use as it is (seems very sharp and nearly passed the HHT) or to hone it until the edge become parallel to the spine?

Waiting your suggestion (ad maybe an expert who would do it for me, for a reasonable price).

All the best
