    Oh no ,, it won't be everyone's cup of tea. But after doing several hundred wood, bone , horns,, I had to do something different for myself.Many have said of other restorations,, "that blade should have a black horn scale". Well,,yeah, but.

    Lets face it, you won't see many others like it. And with China's fascination with carved Ivory it somehow seemed a natural with this blade. I'll have fun with it. Besides I just bought another 67 razors today and I'm sure many of them will be straight up restos. I grabbed another 4 W&B's to add to my 30, more DD Satin edges to add to my Goldedges, Torreys, Artists, Genevas, and Gencos, Wosty's, Worchesters, 5 more Spikes, Pearl Kings, Le Coutoure, and at 400 razors one carved Ivory won't make a difference. Sometimes you just have to break the mold and see what can be done.There are plenty of black horn razors out there and I'll build many more.
