Seraphim,

Grind it short and rescale, post in the woman's corner. Bummer

I had the blade laid down on a counter surface, and was sanding the blade, when *CRACK* it split down the length.

I've done quite a bit of blade tinkering, and this was nothing out of the ordinary, just one of those things.

That does suck the big one. Nice photography, though. (Mom told me to always find something positive to say )

Keep in mind I am in no way comparing my skills (or rather lack thereof) to yours...

But my first attempt at restoring a Dubl Duck was chronicled here: http://straightrazorpalace.com/works...-part-1-a.html

Two good things came out of my "tragedy":

1.) I was able to get the remains to somebody who could use the parts

2.) While I couldn't find the chip, al least it wasn't embedded in me!

OK, so I used the dremel, and buffed that little split right out of the blade.


Good as new!

That Maas really is good stuff!

OK, OK.......

So I wasn't being entirely truthful....

I just got two more of the same worked backs from Zeth:

Ouch! I haven't tried buffing yet. This makes me a little leary. Is there a more suitable surface than a counter top? And by the way, LameEagle: Is that Smilin' Jack on your avatar?

son of a bit..... that's sucks... i feel for ya man. just got done restoring 3 blades myself. those ebay descriptions are something else i tell ya. could post it for sale regardless just for shz-n-giggles. after all there's nothing a little JB weld, ducttape, or superglue can't fix
