Thank you! Yes, I was considering a satin finish, and it would actually work quiet well with this blade because the line between blade face and spine is so well defined by the "rattler" style grind. But I like a mirror finish too, so I decided to go with that. The nice thing is that the mirror finish is the last step before applying the satin finish, so if I change my mind and want to go satin it could still be done relatively easily. It would look like this Northfield rattler I did here http://straightrazorpalace.com/custo...storation.html
Thanks for the kind words!

Nicely done!! I also have some ebony scales I did on a restoration 3 years ago and they are still like new. I am not a fan of most wood scales but the ebony are in a different park.

Nicely done! It's not easy to restore the 'rattler' grinds...Great job!

Very nice work tuzi! The finish looks flawless, and the ebony scales were a great choice for it! I’ve been a fan of the rattler grind since I first saw one.
