Thread: Restoration Mistake

Hey Guys,
Made a very annoying mistake today and thought i might share it. After all I've learnt something from it maybee someone else can to. i was trying to remove some pitting from this little J. Diriam & Sons blade and making nice progress. When i started there was a small chip in the heel end but after a lot of hard hard work with 120 grit w/d i took a close look and saw my nick had become a crack and as soon as i put some preassure on it, well, you can see the photo.
Maybee i should have breadknifed it before starting and gotten rid of the chip, or maybee i just went to far with the sanding and thined the blade too much.
Any opinions are welcome, i dont want to make this mistake again.
Cheers,
Baldy
