    My appreciation, James.
    I see you cannot be involved in a multi-quote?
    I suppose you have earned that!

    Thank YOU and only you, cobber!

    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?

    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!

    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!
    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-----------

    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!!!

    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.........

    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!

    It's gorgeous, sent my RAD meter off the scale!!

    What does the etch on the spine say...do you have a shot of it?
