    Default well worned Taylors eye witness :)

    Hi everyone
    I have got another ebay steel in here, costed me whole £2.50 . when I got it, she was in quite bad shape about 5 hours of hand sanding later here it is. There is still some pitting left on the blade especially on the spine. Might not be easy to see on the pictures but bevel is almost touching the etching on the blade now thus I believe it was used quite a lot. The original scales melted a little when I was unpinning it (dremel is the only tool I have for that job) thus I have replaced them with some scales from another Sheffield blade (had to take them of anyway cause I didn't like how the razor fitted in the scales), black Bakelite with led wedge and brass pins and washers. Haven't honed her yet I might have some time on the weekend then ill try her out.

    Nice save. That etch must be deeper than I would have thought.

    Sharpen that drill bit and use a bit of cutting oil, and you should not have as hard a time with heat. Brass can get very hard from penning, and quickly dull a drill bit.
