Just an update on how it's going. I have just finished chopping off the toe. Now I am going to think about reshaping the end into a barbers notch like it used to have. But that might have to wait until my fingers heal. Its hard work doing this with just a diamond file and no vice.

You are a patient and persistent man. Nothing like taking a lemon and making lemonade. Nice save.

Patient, persistent and damded stuborn. Just ask my wife.

You did that without a vice? Ouch. Blisters, or just very sore?

Nice job on it, I look forward to seeing how it ends up!

No blisters, just a bit sore. But this did take me about three days to get through. It has made stropping a bit hard though. Now I'm trying to reshape what is now the toe. I have wrapped some material around the blade and clamped it in a D clamp. This gives me something to rest against the edge of my desk. I'll post some pictures tomorrow to show my progress so far.

Here is an update of where I'm up to. I have just finished redoing the barbers notch. Because I don't have a vice I wrapped the blade in a rag and then clamped it in a D clamp. This gave me something to rest against the edge of my desk. It didn't take any where near as long as I thought it would. Now I have to polish it up and I'm planning on cutting down the original scales to fit. Once its all polished up and put together it should look good.
