Heel Chipped family Heirloom!
So I will try an keep this short. Need advice from the experts on repair. My soon to be inlaws came up this weekend an surprised me with a J.A. Henckels Twin works. It was swmbo's grandfathers. I was stunned until I opened it. It has a decent chip out of the heel. No noticeable cracks. Original scales are slightly warped but savable. I think the blade would clean up nice. Just worried about how small it will be after the chip an bevel are done. The plus side is the shoulderless grind. Wont have to worry about getting into a stabilizer. Here are a few bad pics. What do yall think? Save it or just keep it as a wall hanger?
In case the glare is to bad, the scales read " Vanadium Alloys Steel Company" & "Red Cut Superior""The black smoke is just lost power"
