Thread: granite scales on a Norton special 1401

OK its not real granite, it is sculpt on a stainless steel backing

This is only my second go at a razor restore and I wanted to try something differe nt. I don't think anyone has completed any scales using sculpy, the couple of posts I saw they never finished it !

Anyway here it is, its not perfect but as a trial run to see if it will work I think its been a success from that point of view

The pictures haven't come out that well I'll have to take some more so just the one at the moment



Edit: just a quick note for anyone wanting to use sculpy as a scale material. I do think it really needs a backing material as it seems a bit delicate at the thickness required for scales. I also tried in the past to make a knife handle out of the stuff.......that didn't work, the first time I used the knife for anything a bit strenuous it broke but for scales and mounted on a stronger backing material it seems to work and feels allot like an acrylic handle.
