Alright so this thing had been on Ebay for a while but I thought the price was initially too steep to pull the trigger on as there was a lot of rust which we know makes restoration of a hollow grind dicey at best. Well the price dropped to $33 and I took another look at the picture. The rust appeared to be mostly surface rust and I have brought razors back that were in far worse conditions so... I figured this might be my best shot at getting my hands on a Wonderedge. Here are the before and after shots.
Fortunately the rust along the edge was surface only and there was good steel right underneath. I still have some work to do to make it pretty again but it honed up and took an edge. You know what they say, if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck and shaves like a duck...
