I got around to fixing up this terrific Ivory Sheffield pen today, and it turned out great! The blades both needed some reshaping and it needed cleaned and honed. I had just sharpened the blades and was cleaning some stray oil and slipped...

It had been bleeding like a son of a gun for a solid 10 minutes, and then my wife noticed it when I took a picture.
She wanted to take me to the hospital, of course, but I convinced her that I could stop it with glue. It eventually worked, but the glue does burn some!

Here is the offending blade. It was a pen at one point, but had been broken so it became a coping. I don't like the way it thanked me for the hard work!!
