Thread: Horn Scales For a Stub Tail Greaves

Excuse the length of this but I was having a ball!
As you can see I got the scales roughed in and then went on to further refine the design. Once all the sanding was done you'll see here how I got them polished.
To finish the razor the original had brass pins and steel washers. So I used brass and double stacked SS washers to mimic the look.
The blade honed up just fine and was easier than I anticipated and I just can't wait to use it.
Now granted this isn't the most perfect copy of the original scales but I believe I achieved a reasonable approximation of them. I'm sure the razor is much happier with the new scales and I'll have no problem using it. And at this level of magnification with the camera,, flaws can be easily seen. But with the blade in hand, to me, none of it matters. I'm a happy guy.

Under most circumstances, I would've tried to fix even that break in the original scales... But your new scales are mighty fine work! I wish my old Acier Fondu Greaves was honable, but it's working days are over, I'm afraid.

Bravo!
