    I know this is late, but I just started my first piece today (see WWII Henckels - opinions . . . ) and have been looking through the gallery. I must confess that you frigin nailed this with simplistic beauty. Man, I envision the owner of this piece to be driving a 1963 chevy corvette stingray convertable . . .

    May I PM you for possible scales? I just cannot do them.

    Thanks,

    Alpsman

    Man… the difference between what it was and what it is now is amazing.
    As usual, nice restore Max...

    If its a convertible, great! TOB is dead on, your photo shot setup with the dice is dynamite. I have a Henckles 4/8's coming from Italy (not a 401) and I cannot wait to shave with it.

    Also, the smiley blade restoration is coming alone nicely but slowly. I have decided not to rush this. I want all tensy tiny pits and blemishes gone prior to stepping up to 220 and onward.

    Thanks!
