Makes baby jesus cry...

I recently started restoring a Halberd, was looking forward to cleaning this one up considering how bad of condition it was in. After sanding through some of the rust a crack running half way up the blade appeared. For a minute there I thought maybe I was heavy handed but after closely inspecting my before pictures it turns out the crack was there but it was so faint that it was easy to overlook it.

I hate hidden cracks.
