I have a Wilkinson straight that's slightly warped. Just enough to make honing difficult. I was wondering if someone could regrind it? It's a heavy 11/16" blade with a very thick spine. I expect it would end up a lighter and smaller razor but at least I could use it then. Any sugestions?
GK
I have a Jos Rogers meat chopper with the same problem. I used the rolling x and after a lot of work got a great shave with it. The bevels are uneven but he shaves just swell.
Not very many people do regrinding and I doubt that would take out the warp. Your best bet is to learn the "rolling X stroke" and/or a narrow hone. The last resort is a hone with a curved, convex, surface. A super light touch is needed for that.
