Question thought how do you manage to get the stamps etc darker after the clean up than it was originally?
mine always seem to polish out the same at the rest of the blade even with only hand polishing
One day I will be in the Duck club. One day.
Nice job!
It Honed Up Nice! Got To Wait To Shave.... :tdQuote:

ok simple as but is this truely what everyone uses or just Chev's approach to getting the deep dark look
certianl beats trying to hot vinegar & rub back the rest
I Read It On Another Thread About A Restore... Not Sure Who Posted It.... But It Worked! :)Quote:

I Was SERIOUSLY considering Gold Plating The Tang Like Original Also.... :thinking::shrug:
If you search out an older member AaronX he has some detailed instructions on here of how he did the Gold Plating, I saw some of his in person and honestly it was better than the originals... Check out his old posts if you get time...Quote:

Ed,
You threw the caper clear out of the yard!
Gotta be worth a fortune now. Though, we all know that's not why most/any of us are in it.
I'd love to hear about a shave with that gem. :mace:
Outstanding work on that beauty. Congratulations.

All I can say is W O W :dropjaw:
This thing shaves like a DREAM!:rock:
Like a hot knife through butter.
I am IMPRESSED with the Ducks!:bow
I can see myself going BROKE getting these now...
CONTROL YOUR RAD ED.... CONTROL IT!:w
Razor looks awesome.. How did u straighten the scales?.
Very nice job with the restore. Looks awesome.
I used a heat gun and the flat metal base of my scroll saw :Craftsman 16"Variable Speed Scroll Saw: Saw Through It All with Sears top model)Quote:

Held them in my hand with my finger behind them while heating.
Heat gun was about 12-18" away
If it got hot on my finger I moved it away a bit.
When they felt "warm enough" I just placed them on the metal and pushed down and let them "cool" there for about a minute.
Whole process took MAYBE 15-20 minutes. :dropjaw:
I think I really LUCKED out doing them.
I have heard HORROR stories about straightening them....
After a couple of back and forth , they turned out REALLY NICE!
Fastidious, clean work. I like it. Thanks for shearing!
