Ocean Silver Steel Rescale in Inlace Acrylester "The Abyss" Pattern

So I ordered some Inlace Acrylester months ago to try something different, but I wasn't sure what to do with it. Then this Ocean Silver Steel came to me in a restoration lot, raised its hand and yelled "Pick me!" over and over. The material was quite easy to work, sand and polish, if a little softer and "gummier" than other acrylics I've handled. Stainless cup collars and a black acrylic wedge to complete it.

Other than a recent Wostenholm in bone, I've done a number of synthetic rescales lately. I'm missing wood grain and the smell of Tru-Oil, so I think I'll be turning back in a more natural direction for several more I've got lined up. Happy New Year! SHD

That is an outstanding looking razor!

Ocean. Never saw one. Japanese?

Looks Great!

Great work. Beautiful scale material :whipped:

Thanks, Joseph-It actually polished up quite nicely, and the material is very interesting visually with all the swirling.

Tom-I have no idea on country of origin, as there is no indication on front or back. I hope to hone it up in the next day or two to see how it shaves.

It is a very nice material to work work, polishes to a mirror shine

possibly some of the most stunning scale material i have ever seen. Nice work Aaron.

Yup that scale material was made for that blade

Beautiful work and a match made in heaven. That material, seems to me, is a mix of space and ocean. I really like it. It reminds me of the “Max” scales I have.

where's the best place to get some of that?
