I wish they all went this well. The blade is about at true as can be, and all the old hardware was salvaged. The scales were made to the dimensions of the originals.

Before and after.

Very nice! Very Nice, indeed!

Terrific, saving the washers and using the scales shape really brings it back to life.

Nice work. Great scale reproduction. I am meaning to try some honey horn. Yours turned out superb!

A beautiful razor and restoration.
Love the color of the scales. Kinda reminds me of root beer.
Congratulations!

Thank you for the complements.

I get the horn slabs from eBay member "globalwoods". I've gotten several from this seller and each piece has been flawless. No delamination, no unusable areas. The pieces were all nearly perfectly flat. I've gotten slabs from others on ebay as well and they all had lamination problems and had to be flattened.

6x2x 5/6mm is the size and I can get a set of scales from one piece.
