Condition

The before photograph shows a damaged cutting profile.

Work performed

The profile was corrected before the final edge was sharpened.

Observed result

The after photograph shows the repaired profile. The repair plan depends on damage depth and the usable blade remaining.

Have a similar problem? Send photos of the full blade, both faces, and the damage. Sean confirms what is practical before work begins.
