Another razor that came in naked. The request was black scales, white wedge with silver liners. OK.
I couldn't resist working the blade a bit. It appeared that the stamping had been buffed as some streaking was evident below some of the lettering. I fixed that. I also did a little work on the blade itself taking care not to remove any more of the script as had been. Just a bit cleaner now.
For the scales I basically kept to a traditional design but flattened it a bit so the sweep of the scales matched the sweep of the spine. I like that look as it seems to me to appear more unified if both lines basically match.
I cut recesses to accept the NiAg. plate (.040) where the wedge would be.To accept the toe of the blade I made a small cove in the wedge to keep it close and tight to the blade. I kept the scales flat, Black Horn, but added a small bevel around the perimeter for an accent. NiAg pins and SS washers buttoned her up.
