Hello Robert,

agree with you that he did an amazing job. I have had the same worries that the blade will lost the cental ridge by reworking so I never would have tried to do it byself but he was sure get back the original contour of the blade. When you handle the blade now you never will get the idea that it was in such a bad condition. And you still can see that it is an antique blade.

Regards,
Detlef
