Tragedy is the ending to this tale :/
I just took it to the 800k and established a lovely bevel. Then onto the 1k... Everything was going well, i was thinking about the smooth shave i would get from this cast steel when i noticed an anomaly .. The blade cracked rite through .. You cannot see in the photos but the crack curves up and around ..
Millions of ppl are dying left right n center so i suppose it's not such a big deal..
Cheers

Yes you totally jinxed it

I’m sure many of us share your pain. I have a lovely W & B that became an extreme shorty at the 4K grit on my Norton.

**DVW** · 08-10-2020, 09:50 PM

Was it already cracked or did it happen during the honing process?

**JOB15** · 08-10-2020, 09:52 PM

It occured on the 1k honing..Out of the blue.
