Thread: Henckels Newer 7/8 & 8/8 Friodur - Rescales

Going on a trip in the "Way Back Machine"

There was a time where replacing the unmatched misfit plastic Chinese scales on these was a weekly occurrence

3rd Generation Henckels Friodur 7/8 size

Scales are Cocobolo @ at sweet .105" thick
Wedge is Amber Recon Stone @.065" at the end
Pins and Washers are Solid Brass
Used a Hand Rubbed Teak Oil Finish followed by Ren Wax








Oooooooo look at the Center Pin post closely

hmm That blade looks familiar.

nice job Glen! what's Amber recon and how is it shaped? is that some sort of bead in the center? nice touch!

I have not seen one with a scalloped spine for some time. The scales look great. Is that a brass bead of some sort that you used for the spacer on the middle pin?

Well I'm pretty sure it is as 'mine/my son's' has one that's at least similar. I can imagine Glen out at a arts and craft show and being the only male there!

Anyway I found it a nice touch!

Impeccable job as usual Glen.
There's just something about cocobolo wood that does it for me. I love the stuff! I'm sure that Roy will be thrilled with the results. The razor, with its scalloped spine, is a beautiful blast from the past!

Now...the Wayback machine : Which one of you guys is Sherman and which one is Mr. Peabody??

My grubby mitts await that, outback!

Nice work guys, seems like nobody likes the original scales on the Friodur, surprising that I don't see the inlay transferred from the original scales.
