It's not pitting. But this seam is more interesting for me.
Not sure what to make of them. Usually one would need wheels to get blanks properly ground, but they appear to be frame backs.
However the blades appear to be a millimeter or more in thickness, so wheels of the proper sizes could get them ground… 1 and ˝ inch for the hollow and maybe 8 inch for the edge.
As they are now, if you simply sand and then hone the result will be very large bevels (not to mention flattening of the spine unless taped).
This is an interesting find… please let us know what you do... and the results.
Here the result. Blade is ready. I must receive the same pin. And the razor would fully ready.
Unfortunately on one edge there was deep rust, but it will not affect quality of the razor, unless on appearance.
The end of my humble work with Dorko at this time.:)
Very nice Alex
I did not envision such a good result when I saw the first photo you posted!
But I have left the most "tasty" on the next time, 7/8 blade.:)
Awesome Alex! Would you be so kind as to post what grit sizes you used to achieve the results for aspiring restorers?
Did you handsand majority of them or dremel/sander?
Did you use 1/16 pins from microfasteners as well?
Again very inspiring
Thanks,
Ivan

Grit sizes: 60, 180, 400, 800, 1200, 2000.
For polishing I used Dremel and grinder.
It's simple Dovo pin.
