First try with G10 on an Italian Razor

**Arbroath** · 11-23-2015, 02:08 AM

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!

It was honestly easier to shape than any hardwood I've ever worked with. I made an order of the olive (pictured) black, white, translucent jade, and some other micarta blanks. Definitely good times to come!

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.

Much easier and less smelly than horn or bone to work with, albeit much more toxic!

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!

Is that some sort of an abrasive pad?

Good job on your first attempt.

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.
