Gentlemen, be kind, this is my first go at G10 as well as doing a double pin on the wedge.
Scales are Olive G10, wedge is black G10. Nickel rod, brass/nickel washers.
Blade is a 13/16 Caudano Torino Full Hollow.

Haven't used it yet as I have no hones
G10 is on my list for scale materials, but haven't taken the time to attempt it just yet. You did a great job on that razor, the double pin wedge is a nice touch!
Much appreciated!Quote:

Excellent job on your first attempt.
Thank you. I further cleaned it up a little more. There were a few edges that needed to be shaped more uniformly.Quote:

I deal with G10 at work on occasion, besides the dust being a hazard to your lungs it is also very abrasive, so clean all equipment very well afterwards.
Not bad.
I would advise to make satin G10 Skotch brayt(3M). Disappear minor scratches and shine
Thanks for the heads up. I wear a full 3M respirator and goggles when working with any media. Can never be too safe!Quote:

I would mirror the comment about the scotch brite. You can get belts of it online as well. That's what I use on my 2x72.
