    Default Klastornblom Swedish Razor 11/16 in Bacote

    Here is a recent improvement. There are still spots from the rust before. Overall though the blade was in very nice condition when I got it with only surface rust. I have no before pics, butt he blade was pretty good. I'll be !@# if I can actually center a blade though. Some day I WILL center a blade, just not this one.
    Maker: Klastornblom Eskilstuna, Sweden
    Blade: Carbon 11/16
    Scales: Bacote
    Wedge: Desert Ironwood
    Pins/Washers: Brass

    I really like that grain pattern in the scales. Very nice

    Very nice work on that Klas Törnblom. I can see you already have ideas for the next with that black & white marble scale =). Keep up the good work.

    Nicely done. I like the wood and the way it was finished. Keep the coming! Try lighter taps when peening the pins. You may be bending the pin a little.

    Nice job.
    As for the blade alignment, are you sure you're drilling your holes straight ?
    I had similar trouble with my dremel drill press till I set it up properly.

    +1 that grain pattern looks like its just flowing through the wood.

    as for the alignment, there was an article recently added to the wiki on blade alignment under the restoration section. see if that doesn't help you out some.

    You know, it could be, but this particular set was done with a drill press that I leveled and tried to calibrate accurately according to the manual. I noticed that some of my pins were bending in trial runs with light taps and I was not noticing this when I put them in. Someone pointed out that the pins may be bent and I think they are right.
    Bottom line, I stink when it comes to blade centering. I am going to just try out the process next time I am home and see how it goes with some scrap wood. I just hate to throw away these scales because it take a week to get them finished and sealed the way I like them.

    Looks really fine. I like the way the wedge matches with the scales.
