I was able to acquire this XX era Case Green Bone from Steve last month. The main blade had a small nick in it. The blade already had moderate blade loss, but I was hoping my buddy Rick (Railsplitter) could remove that nick without taking off too much more metal.
As you can see, he did a fantastic job. The nick used to be right about where that purple arrow is (Photo #3), but now it's gone. He also went to work on the other 2 blades and now all 3 have a clean, razor sharp edge.
Here are some before/after photos. Click on the photos and you can get a good look.
Thanks Rick!! Most appreciated my friend.
