Thread: Henckels Platinum rescale in Lace Wood

This is the third and last of three threads showing the practice rescale jobs my son and I did. You will note that the blades are not perfect w/ either heavy hone wear, heavy pitting or both. I paid $12.50 for this one w/ broken scales. My son and I rescaled it in Lace wood w/ a urethane finish. Pins and washers are brass. All we did to the blade was remove tarnish w/ MAAS and buff. Pics again by JrJoeD. This is one of the few I have a before picture of.

You got to love lacewood. Although you might find that over time the grain around the light colored spot will raise spontaneously giving your scales a wee bit of texture, not unsightly, but can be disappointing after all that sanding.

I just did a pseudo-one-piece handle, in lacewood, for a sweet little Genco Registered, I'll post pics when I get my camera back.

Great job overall, it's really satisfying to take a 5 or 10 dollar blade and a few hours work and wind up with a super nice straight razor.

Great job!! The two are you are gonna become the SRP Dynamic Duo of restorations if you keep it up. Great job on the pics again JR.
