    Default Restoration on three blades?

    I've been reading on the forum about restoration and cleaning of the blades. I picked these three up today and this is how far I've gotten on them. Anyone have any advice? Thank you in advance.

    The one looks ok but with the other 2 I'd be worried that the rust or patina has caused pitting too close to the edge. Maybe clean them up with some meatal polish and see where you're at. Trying to set the bevel will let you know as well if you're ok and they're worth carrying on with.

    EDIT: as far as the blades go , I second what Catrent says, also the honewear in the 2nd pic looks pretty bad

    As above. Also if #2 is at all honeable the heel will need reshaping as the edge is flush with the stabiliser
