Thread: Suredge restore

I have not posted restorations in a while so here is one I just finished.
Got this Suredge for restoreand rescae with the request of some more colorful scales.
What is better than some Kirinite? I have not worked with that material before but I like it, polishes great, feels great in hands, I like how the patterns impart sort of a 3D look to the sales.
Blade is near mirror, buffed and polished, and I also re-blued the tang.
I used white acrylic wedge, SS washers, and brass pins.

Came out super. Love the scales.

WOW! Won't be losing THAT!

Really, really nice! I'm getting ready to restore the exact same razor soon...Hope mine turns out as nice! Any tips on the bluing process???

I used Burchwood Casey Super Blue Gun Blue, followed their instructions and applied 4 times.

Thanks Stefan! Before you applied it how did you rough up or finish the part to be blued?

Just as it was off the buffer, 600 grit greaseless. I scrubed it a little with #0000 steel wool, but I doubt it did anything to the surface.
Make sure to clean with Windex or another de-greaser before you apply the gun blue.

Very nice, I have some kirinite white pearl I need to use. I like scales with more curves, but the end product is very nice! I'm getting a custom blade from bruno, and I'm thinking about blue finishing it as well.

I like the bluing. Very nice. Something I'm going to try within the next 6 months or so. Thanks.

Excellent work, handle very much.
