    Cool Joseph Rodgers 'Big Blade' in Red Horn...

    Here's a real nice Joseph Rodgers that I've been working on for awhile. Two tone finish on the blade and dressed in red dyed horn scales with SS large domed collars. I still haven't pinned it up...right now it's pinned up with a mock-up wedge... I'm working on a lead wedge to finish it off. But I think you can get the idea of what it will look like when finished.

    Hope you like it....

    Awesome! I love Rodgers razors especially like this one with the spine. Just great. The restore is fantastic and the dyed red horn scales are perfect. I'm a bit envious

    I don't think I have seen one of your remarkable restores without rounding over the edges of the scales. It might be the pics, but they look like they have an angle at the edge....am I seeing things funny...it wouldn't be the first time.

    The edges of the scales have a very slight bevel to them WW243...I made the scales very thin like Ivory scales and put a small angle on the edge to soften the edge and give a contrast to the red color of the top. With this horn materiel you have to do all the work on the back side because of the dyed color. Otherwise the red dye will be sanded away. You also have to use a non-abrasive polish when you shine them up.
