J.A. Henckels Zwillingswerk, 70 1/2, a re-re-storation
Helo there...
last week I decided to try and re-do my first restoration (J.A. Henckels Zwillingswerk, 70 1/2) and make it a bit better, firstly since I managed to get the right screws and make them work (which took me a bunch of nerves and time), and secondly I reduced the thickness of the doussie scales and padouk wedge (finished with 5-6 tung oil treatments), well have a look below
and here is the "face-lifted" version..
what do ya think..'

Yay for wedgie wedges! Looks good. You should be proud of your advancing skills.
The older I get the more I realize how little I actually know.

the wedge angle looks really good, as well as the centering of the blade. Should be proud of that one. Next you'll have to try your hand at peening!
