Thread: Please VOTE - How I should save a 17/16" W&B

• See, with all the curves on this blade... the curved spine, the curved shoulder, the curved bottom edge of the blade, the curved tang.. the curved handles... I cant believe you guys would think a spike point would fit the style of this razor.... :P I don't think I could pull myself to do it, even if it did get the most votes..so I didn't list it as an option

Option 1...that maintains the original relative curvature of the edge and spine. It keeps it all in visual balance. That's why we buy them in the first place.

Just my $.02,

I say option 3 for shaving, 4 for cutting vegetables

3 is what I would do, less work overall I think, keeps the width everywhere else, also won't require as much honing finesse probably. plus it would be different, never seen an original w&b with a spanish point.

Or send it to me, I'll salvage it for you

Listen to Glen.

You could shorten the blade and give it a new notch if you don't want to go square/Spanish. It might look a little funny with the etching off center, but that is probably what I would do if she was mine.

I've got to agree with Randy, and go with option #1 for my vote.

OK... I went ahead and did Option 2. I was leaning that way anyway--and it leaves me open to option 1 if I decide to later.

Heres how she looks now:






what do you all think?

It looks awesome! The curve of the edge looks very comfortable to shave with actually. Great save.

Very nicely done.
It's a good thing that you listened to my advice!

Great job!
