    Default Wade & Butcher regrind candidate?

    A bit unsure about when regrinding is possible/advisable. Would this W&B be a viable candidate? Any recommendations on where to send it if so? I got it for basically nothing, can anything be done with it?

    Have you got a head on shot, of the toe end? That does look like it has been honed and then some.

    I have hand sanded blades with similar hone ware and they turned out just fine.

    Sand out the hone ware lines and when finished hone with a few layers of tape.

    there are a couple of members that do regrinds here. Karlej and Undream (Brad Maggard of Maggards razors) do a good job.

    Same here, add 2-3 layers of tape and hone it, it could be just fine as is

    I think it may be a faux-frameback without the spine, guys. Certainly has a nice 'stop' at the bottom of the spine?

    I wonder if you aren't right sure seems at the back of the spine it is raised by the tang.

    Which explains why the hone wear is so flat at the moment. Garsh, it looks like there's quite a bit of hone wear flowing up into the tang.....On both sides. IMO, and if it were mine, I'm not sure I'd spend any time with this one.
