W&B in Horn

[mycarver]

This one was a bit Iffy. But it worked out OK.
Cleaned up the blade ( too bad about the stamp) and did up some Honey horn scales. Curved the wedge to fit the blade nice and snug.

I'm starting to really appreciate horn scales, and those wonderfully translucent honey horn scales and nice wedge are exceptional!

Outstanding!

Absolutely gorgeous scales.

Nice pair with the other bone W&B

It's hard to believe that your finished blade started out as bad as it did, miraculous. I wouldn't have looked twice at it in the condition you started with.
Where did you get your honey horn from?

I've had one or two blades like that. I soak them in Evapo Rust, lifts all the rust off, leaving just the good metal, won't harm the scales, it really is a great time saver, and I've used it with two framebacks, it gets the rust out from hard to access places.

I'm getting me some EVAPO-RUST tomorrow! A store less than 3 miles from me carries it!

From what I've read on their site, only oxides of iron should be affected...so gold wash shouldn't be a problem unless it's on top of rust, right?

Nice choice on the horn. I particularly like the touch of black, just to confirm its real horn.

Beautiful job!

Thanks guys.
Most of my stock comes from Masecraft. To get matching scales I usually have to cannibalize two slabs to get the look I want on one razor.

Hummm,, Evapor rust. I must be doing something wrong. I need to explore more of these short cuts to finish blades.

I used it on some car parts ( a truck frame) years ago but never considered it here.

I think it is incredible how you cleaned up the blade. Your results are fantastic. Again, love those Horn scales. There is talent and then there is TALENT. Guess what?
