Took some bread knifing to clean it up and then started the bevel on a 325DMT. Call it 13/16 plus I guess. I like the thick tang to hang on to. Scales came out nice. Amazing for 100+ years old. Honed up on a 1K Chosera, 3K, 5K, 8K, 12K Naniwa and finished on a Suehiro 20K.

Looks great...and frankly am glad to see the way it turned out.

I have a gorgeous 9/8 W&B Celebrated For Barbers Use, that had a dremel run over the blade face. Believe it or not, whoever did it pretty much left the etchings on the face alone, but made a mess of the rest. It's been with Val at The Gentleman's Den for a couple of weeks now getting fixed up, with some nice red horn scales, be nice to finally have that blade in the rotation, and seeing this one raises my hopes...thanks!
