Hi all,
I recently bought a wooden spokeshave. The body's in wonderful condition and I'd love to be able to use it some day. However, the blade seems to be badly damaged / worn.
However, I'm a total newb to woodworking, so the situation may look worse to me than it really is. The person I bought it from offered to refund my money, but I'd thought I'd see if it could be brought back to use.
Yesterday I contacted Donna at Rose Antique Tools. She has the exact same spokeshave in stock (same maker) and she sells NOS Hock replacement blades. I explained the situation and asked her to see if any of the Hock replacement blades would fit. Unfortunately none will.
Here are some pictures of the blade:

Can it be restored or should I return it for a refund?
Thank you,
Noah
