Filly back in black

**Seraphim** · 09-04-2009, 05:45 PM

Found a Filly for under $140 on Ebay.......but it was in need of a little work...

Nothing a little elbow grease couldn't take care of!

Now I have a pretty nice Filly #12. Black matte acrylic over aluminum scales with clear acrylic wedge.

Too bad I usually like my razors bigger than this. I'll see how it shaves after a honing.

Woah, dude.

Nice work. I am a sucker for plain black scales.

What did you use to clean up the blade?

**ursus** · 09-04-2009, 06:32 PM

Nice job clearing it out!

wow! Just wow!

What a beauty! I kind of have a "thing" for fillys, I've noticed. Every time I see a blade online or in an antique shop I say to myself "oooh, what kind of blade is that?" And it ends up usually being a filly or a boker.
That's really inspiring to see what a "little elbow grease" can do. Thanks for sharing those pics.

Really nice work Craig!

Thanks guys.

I'm starting to get the hang of pinning and peening too.

Great news! I have some blades that could use new scales...

Seraphim,

I'll bet you'll put an edge on that Filly that'll keep it in your rotation!

BTW, nice clean-up on aisle #12
