    Default Wostenholm and Honey Horn

    A 13/16 blade with a satin finish and polished spine. Honey horn and lead wedge with brass pins and collars. I think the tang coming to almost a spike is a bit unusual. Balance in the hand is really nice. The only flaw in the steel is some pitting on the spine which I just cleaned and left. It was just too deep.

    I like the minimalist restoration you did on that razor.
    It still carries that "I am well over 100 years old and am doing fine" look to it.

    Great work on the scales. I like to see these to remind my self that the original proportions and shape are just right.
    My service is good, fast and cheap. Select any two and discount the third.

    I really have a thing for horn scales, it is hard to get a true picture, looks like there might be some streaking in those. Nice blade too. Thanks for sharing.
