My appreciation, James. :bow
I see you cannot be involved in a multi-quote?
I suppose you have earned that!
Thank YOU and only you, cobber! :)

That turned out really nice! I have tackled some of those warped blades...they are not fun!
Thanks, Tc! I can understand these scales are not for everyone!
Most think they are heavy. Adversely, thin examples such as these are quite light.
They are like a sprung tuning fork. You think YOUR razor is loud? :dropjaw:
Look for Joseph Elliott's in this grind. Those always seem to go easy!
Wow Tom, that's a nice result.. Great metal work. Patience making your metal forming tools really paid off in a gem!
:tu :tu
Thank you, Mike!
Really some odd-shaped scraps of 14 ga sheet metal, Shaped, rounded, and polished on the end clamped in a vise, lots of light varieties of hammers.
Wooden, plastic, and leather.
I found a place online which restores damage to heirloom sterling pieces. They bring back garbage disposal damage! :dropjaw:
Stuff is hard for me to mess with. I cannot imagine....
Nice work Tom! Very Nice!
To be honest I don't know whether to admire your or despise you! As I don't have the skills to do what you seem to do so effortlessly. Yea I know you wrote about the trials and tribulations but-----------:tu

My God Tom, gobsmacked...but do have one small criticism, and please, take this with all my good intentions.
That is a perfectly beautiful vintage blade, why did you feel the need to polish it up shinier than a diamond in a goats azzz!!!:rofl2:
Sorry, could'nt resist, absolutely awesome work, does the etch say, "The Sterling Razor", or, "The British Razor", spectacular specimen!
I made my kids approach the monitor and bow to your work.........:chapeau
Har! Thanks, Phranks! It proclaims 'The British Razor. Trust me, that etch would not be there, nor would the grinding striations had I done much in that regard. TBH, the blade was pristine and as far as looks go, it is about the same as-receiving with exception of some rust off the tang and the wider, wonky bevel. Thing had the prettiest, tinyest, even bevel ever.
Was not to be, however!:rofl2:
