Suggestions for straightening a wavy blade.
Hi All,
I'm having a go at restoring a couple of razors and have run into a problem that someone here must have solved before.
The blade is wavy, and by that I mean that the width of the blade varies at different points along it's length.
I have tried to get good photos of it to show everyone what I mean, however, I don't seem to be able to. Suffice to say if the edge of the blade was placed on a straight line only two points along the blade would touch.
It is a distinct 'W' shape.
I have looked at gssixguns breadknifing video (thanks Glen) and I'm unsure if I need to go the this extent, although I may try starting the breadknifing at 30 degrees or less, as the waviness not extreme.
I just want to get the edge straight.
Does anyone have any other suggestions as I am not confident to go the breadknifing route at this stage?
All suggestions welcome TIA.
Cheers,
GeoffLast edited by Havachat45; 06-17-2011 at 02:01 AM. Reason: I hate spelling errors
