W&B ,,,Oh My
This Razor ran up some frequent flyer miles visiting other benches until it landed on mine. So I played the hand I was dealt.
What someone was trying to accomplish with either a Dremel with a coarse stone or bench grinder is beyond me. Why didn't they stop when they saw what was happening? And then go to the other side as well.
I did what I could to bring her back to life. The client wanted a mirror polish so my work was cut out for me. I pushed it as far as I could and it turned out quite well I think. All things considered.
Just look at that etch. The word "THE" is nearly gone. The scratches were as deep as the etch.
After working on the blade I duplicated traditional W&B style scales in black horn, white wedge and stacked washers. No,, it's not a silver pin. It is brass. Just very shiny.
It's back in rotation now.

I have one that looks very similar--I guessed a Dremel. They stopped before doing too much damage, but they did damage the etching on the blade. I'll save what I can of the etching.

Good luck Joe.

Mark, once again you just blow me away with your work!

I wish that I had the funds to travel from my location in SE Washington State to your workshop and watch how you manage to pull these saves off!
Great Work!
