Thread: Modified CVH

My client had a pair of matched CVHs in a presentation box, faux tortoise scales with one problem.
One of the scales were cracked.
He bought another MK 32 with the matching scales but this one had a split blade.
I swapped the scales for him to complete his set but he had no interest in the cracked blade that was left.
Well I decided I'd cut it down to have a shorty for myself. I lopped off the end and reground it to match the original shaped tip. I then polished the rest of the blade to a mirror finish.
For scales I happened to have an old set of Bakelite scales that I simply cut off at the hinge pin, reshaped the end, slimmed them down to better stock looking proportions and polished them. I was hoping for a razor that still had the stock look to it and not look out of scale, no pun intended.

nice save, looks good!

Beautiful work, as always and the Razor Gods are smiling.

That is so cool; and beautiful work, too!

Beautiful work. Very nicely finished. Well done.

Stu

Now that is awesome work sir !!!!

Super nice! I really want to add a shorty to the family!

Nice work. How did you get the bakelite to shine...i tried buffing and hand polish but no result...

In the spirit of the NHL playoff's, great save!

Sanded it as in this example I just did for you . After sanding I just buffed it.
