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.

Here it is.
Thanks!
Looks fine to me.
A nice wedge :)
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 isQuote:

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

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.
I don't see wear on the tang so much as the presence of a step on the tang right above the heel to locate the missing spine.
Still. I am afraid that you are correct in your estimation, Andrew.
Looks like the spine got gone and someone tried anyway.
