Thread: 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.

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 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.

I posted the same thing back years ago. Cannot find the thread now!

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.
