Hi Guys,
I bought this 7/8ths W.Greaves & Sons on eBay as an xmas project for myself.

From the pictures it didn't seem to be in that bad of a condition. I've certainly restored worse.

Today I received my blade . I deconstructed it at went at it with 1000 grit paper and WD40 to check out its condition.

One side is ok but the other has some deep pits ,which I don't mind but the problem is some pits near the edge.

I'm thinking that trying to remove them would be a problem because of the final geometry after sanding and leaving them alone would be a no no because then the bevel /cutting edge just couldn't exist on deep pits.

Any thoughts? preferably positive ones haha.
