Thread: H. Boker gets a new life

This was a birthday gift project send to me. Actually it was purchased straight from the bay to get a full turnover.

The before pics show the condition so not much to add. Decision was made for the abalone/acrylic scales.

I completely gave this blade the total care and surgery needed and it took an awesome finish. It still amazes me how some blades (steel) can take such a high mirror finish while others can give a total different one. Even with the same technique and compounds used.

It is a very gorgeous looking blade. I can't pinpoint exactly what year it might come from but maybe some can. Any info would be appreciated as it would be nice for the birthday boy to get some history about his newly acquired straight razor gift.
I don't have any measurements as I had to hurry to wrap and ship it out.

But I do know it's a H. Boker & Co.
