Thread: Need some help on a livi

Who ever screwed up the Livi should have their thumbs cut off. That way they cannot screw up another super blade. The only real way to ‘fix’ it that I am aware of is to sand the hone ware out of the spine, break out the diamond plate and start cutting steel. I have done it a few times on some old wedges and it is a job. Or you leave it as is, hone it to shave ready and use it as is.

I think the bevel on the spline might be able to be fixed a little with some more honing. Not sure though, my skills aren't good enough to try. If the bevel could be made a little nicer on the spline and it brought up to shave ready, I think I'd be happy with it.

I really need someone to look at it to see if it's possible, and if it is ... hone it for me. Is Russell busy making razors lately?

PICS !!!! Would be great here...

you have pm

I'll steal my sisters gagillion megapixel camera tonight and try to get some good pictures if I can.

Hmm... if one of my Livi's were messed up (beyond normal honing fix) i would send it to Lynn and let him worry about it

Although Glen would be my second choice (for a Livi repair)

ok, got pics, uploading now.

Same here, Other than the Maestro himself I doubt that there is anyone with more experience sharpening them. In fact I wouldn't mess with it, that way you can, honestly, say you're not responsible for putting the moustache on that particular Mona Lisa.
