W. Greaves 17/16 in restored Bone

Everything about this razor is massive.

Shortened scales because of 2nd pinning location. Probably not original scales, but, I definitely made them fit this razor well. The tang is a little bit big for them, however, and there was no flex whatsoever so, it does close a little tight.

Blade got the WORKS. It was in really bad shape. Everything I could throw at it...but I did not regrind.

Pins: 3/32" brass rod peened out to fit some fairly close in size metric brass washers I found at a local hardware shop. I made Everything much larger than normal. The original holes and pins were 1/8"! huge!

Before pictures first. here we go.

Here are before pictures.

And here are Afters. The scales were fairly uneven in terms of shaping and thickness. I did fix them up a bit, but, I was worried about structural integrity, so, I took them as far as I felt safe.

this razor is absolutely gorgeous now :D

The last pic there is next to a 5/8 razor with 1/16" pins. Just as sort of a size comparison.

Eh. You're supposed to let us say that! By the way, this razor is absolutely gorgeous now.

Woah.

Nuff' said

That's my baby! I'm so excited to get her back! She's a monster, so whatever used to be in those scales must have been Godzilla!

Lovely restoration!

Beautiful work.Holli is going to love that one.Wish I was good enough to have taken that deal.The one you got is a beauty too...

Nice transformation. To bad the scales had to be shortened that much at the pivot. It will feel a bit awkward to hold and grip the razor while shaving as the thumb is used to get a nice tight grip between the lower tang part and part of the scale that's sticking out. And those bone scales aren't lightweight either. Those greaves are excellent shavers. I restored several of those big dinosaurs. Hoili should be a happy camper.

wow... the blade is looking really good! well done

Very nicely done! :tu:tu I can see Holli Grinning from here.

Man, thats one chunky beast of a razor, Beautiful.
