Stubtail in Camel Bone

Early 1800's Stub-tail "Guarantee" Razor
Lightly buffed and put into custom Camel Bone scales, I gave them an aged look using Tea I was trying for a Reddish tint but didn't get too much of that.. but it sure brought of the figuring..

The scales are .105" thick and the Streaked Black Buffalo Horn wedge is .045" at the end
Had a little fun with the pins and outer washers,, Used a two tone look like I have seen on these originally.. A domed SS outer washer and Brass pins with Brass inner bearing washers

Honing Chosera 1-5-10 Coticule finish with crushed slurry

Looks nice!

Nice smile on that blade, the whole package looks really nice!

Very cool! Love the authentic look! The aging is appealing to me, clean lines.

"Camel Bone" ?? :rolleyes:

Kinda looks like Elk Bone to me,,,, Fresh Elk Bone at that !!:hmmm:

Very nice Glen ! The tea soak did give the scales a subtle aged look. I don't presume to know what effect you were shooting for but this old Barlow pocket knife with bone scales was dyed with Fienbings alcohol based leather dye in burgandy.

I will try and find the old thread about the experiment for you Jimbo

Here is the first one there is another around here someplace too with a slightly different method like I use but the idea is to basically to crush the Coti slurry until it is like Talc in a Cream...

Great job.

On my monitor the blade looks quite 'frosty.' Is it?

Beautiful work, Glen!

How did you achieve the satin finish on the blade?

As always, beautiful work!

Ya take better photos of it than I sure didn't. You gave it such a noble look that I'm going to have to address it , "Sir", before I use it.

Classic scales Glen...love the domed collars! :tu

Another beauty! You have yet to restore something I don't like!!!
