Hi.
Unfortunately blade was cracked and i had to remove some of that good, old steel.The blade now measures slightly over 9/16 (15 mm).For a first time i’ve tried to make satin finish on the blade and i think it turned out quite well, it’s something between satin and mirror polish.The scales are made out of spalted beech lined with aluminium sheet and finished with CA. Nickel silver pins and stainless washers.

Nice work, lovely scales, Enjoy!
Very nice job! I like the wedge of the same wood as well! Great fit and finish.
Nice work !!!
How did you get the satin finish on the blade?
I like the way the wedge matches the scales, All in all, the result is a mighty fine razor.
That is a gorgeous job, and I absolutely love the spalted scales.
I've used those dremel bits:Quote:

That is beautiful. Love those scales. Are they glued to the Aluminum?
Yep, they are. Funny thing but i used epoxy first but the scales bend a little, epoxy was too stiff. Second try, i used glue for elastic connections and it was right choice :)

What does that mean? Glue for elastic connections?Quote:

I've used a glue used by shoemakers for example. Very flexible.Quote:

very nice scales :)...
Did you use polishing compound (eg. emery) with those dremel buffing wheels, which was it? Do those wheels wear out quickly?
Thanks Miha.
I've used emery wheel to remove staining and pitting. Then dremel buffs and finished with polishing compound. It's not exactly how i wanted to be but i've used them for a first time.
Yes, they are wear out quite quickly.

Like everyone is saying, great scales. They really compliment the finish of the blade.
I have to agree with all the comments!! Ditto Ditto
