The Blade
I picked up a number of blades a while ago and thought I'd get cracking on one.
It's 6/8 has seen better days and my old friends are back in those wacky magnetic scales. I think we decided they were pressed leather scales.
I didn't really take many "in-progress" shots so this is all I have.
I set the bevel and honed it to 1 micron on diamond film and the shave was about an 8 out of 10 which is excellent.
Nothing gets a 10 but it's there just in case. Some of my W&B's and Filarmonicas are 9's.
