Today i got another one in, that had some pitting, but no rust. I had really a good feeling about this one, because now i had bought those dremel-bits, so i was prepared. I started carefully and with little pressure and it cleaned up fast, but then disaster struck: a crack from the edge to the spine.

Been there, done that!


I ruined an old Henckels that way. It only cost me 20 bucks, though. I reached almost mirror shine, but wanted more, more! One tiny slip was enough to crack the blade.
However, I haven't quit restauration. That incident has given me a good lesson and taught me to be extremely careful from that day on.
I guess that's what we call learning.
