    Default Unknown maker sent to me by sharptonn to be reground and restored

    After another regrind and rescale I did a bit ago sharptonn contacted me and asked if I would like to give a go on a blade be had gotten for the scales. It had been ground much to thin on the heal and ended up with a couple holes and cracks. The crack and holes went rather far up into the blade. I reworked the blade and the tang. The tang had been sanded/ground down to the point that the maker is no longer known. Awhile back a good friend sent me a brush he had made for me. He also sent some of the martial that he had turned the handle out of. the blade is a hefty 1" with a very thin grind.

    I wish I had a camera that could capture the actual scales. It is like a high gloss cream cycle.

    I really like how that acrylic pops, great work on this razor.
    The older I get the more I realize how little I actually know.

    I think you did a nice job on a blade save, grinding... scales and matching brush cp

    Excellent work and I really dig the scales and brush handle! What sort of pinning have you used? It looks like nothing I have seen before.
    I want a lather whip
