Alright I need some help from the master restorers. As mentioned in a previous thread, I picked up some blades from the Ebay while home for Christmas. One of them is a FW Engels Warren Velvet Edge. The pic the ebay seller had up was pretty poor, and it looked like it could have a chip cause of the light refraction, but when asked, the seller responded that the edge was "damn near perfect." Well here is what that means to him.

Notice the wider bevel in the center:

Obviously a frown as seen while placing the edge on my Norton:


The second blade I got from Sapito. I had bought 3 blades from him for restoration a couple of months ago, but they never arrived to Shanghai. Unfortunately, we had no way to track them and they weren't insured. He was nice enough to offer a refund or some other blades. As I have a hard time getting old blades here, I opted for the razors. One of them that arrived was an Old Wade & Butcher For Gentlemen's Use. It has a few chips on the edge. The one at the heel is the worst of the chips. It is just under 1mm. The blade is a near wedge. Probably IV or III on the Henckels Grind Chart.







My question for you guys is, are these candidates for bread-knifing, or should I try to hone them out? I have read a few different opinions on the matter. I have read all the FAQs and whatnot.
I know some people like Sham recommend taping the spine and even double taping on certain areas of the spine depending on hone wear. However, I have seen naysayers for that as well due to potential issues at later stages of honing after bevel setting. The spine of the Warren Velvet Edge does show a little more hone wear at the center than elsewhere, but not sure what technique or combination of techniques might work best.

I would like to be able to save both of these blades as I think they would both make for good shaves. I am open to any suggestions and am willing to go at it slow to get it right, just let me know what you think.
