That last pic is a nice razor & needs very little work. Just round the tip gently, don't take too much off. On the chipped & cracked razor, I would grind it down @ a angle about 45 degrees & not let the spine touch at all until you are actually ready to start a bevel. When learning to hone, I always recommend a layer of tape on the spine.

One the big chipped W&B, would it matter if I did circles compared to back-and forth just to get rid of the chip? Such as 40 circles on one side, 40 circles on the other ect...
One the little Chipped W&B, what hone should I use? 4000 or 1000 Norton?Last edited by cconlee; 10-08-2011 at 03:05 AM.

On the chipped toe razor, I would use the side of a 1K or 4K.
On the chipped & cracked razor, it really doesn't matter if you use circles or a back-n-forth action as you are simply grinding steel. I would try to keep the # of strokes pretty even to keep the bevel even. Resist the urge to take it to a belt sander as the heat treatment could be easily be destroyed on power tools.Southeastern Oklahoma/Northeastern Texas helper. Please don't hesitate to contact me.

there are other folks that do it a bit differently. They may have videos also.Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.

I honed a similar sized chip out of a Joseph Rogers recently. I used a 220 DMT. I didn't tape the spine but I did lift the spine off the hone though so it was only the blade dragging along the hone surface.

Here is the W&B now with the chipped toe removed. I used the Norton 1000 to get it close and then finished with the 4000. It took about 10 minutes of playing around. Now to finish it up and to the hones.. Thanks for the advice on this one. I believe its going to come out a real shaver..
