Dubl Duck ~ Goldedge - G10 Hunter Orange

No intro needed for the Dubl Duck Goldedge.

This was an idea and project I had in my mind for a while now and I finally was able to complete my vision. I did spend some time on this project as it was a very meticulous job to make everything perfectly fit but it was worth every minute.

Blade was completely cleaned and polished to a high mirror shine. It turned out stellar and looks as good as new. Originally it had some gold patching left on the tang but not enough to warrant keeping it. Finished everything with green rouge on my trusted buffer.

The scales are an exact duplicate of the originals. I transferred the brass bolsters and inlays from the old broken scales and they are a perfect fit. Scales are G10 Hunter orange. I used mostly brass pins and washers and silver nickel/brass for the third pin. The original plastic wedge was replaced by an exact duplicate in dark acrylic.

This one will start its voyage to Bangkok after the Holidays.

Enjoy.

:bow

wow max!

it's so polished! Very nice lines

When I saw the title "Hunter Orange" I couldn't possibly imagine liking what I was about to see...


....but that is AWESOME! Really looks great, Max!

Saw it in the SOTD...you see, I have a thing for orange and this is....perfect.

Poor little doll, a shame that she's going to Bangkok, I can see how much she likes me and is obviously heart broken to be getting sent to another. Sorry gorgeous little orange doll, I guess that we just weren't meant to be. You are a stunning and beautiful treasure.

Max is the freakin' bomb!

:)

(:cry:)

Ever thought of rhodium plating the bolsters? Gold on orange doesn't quite work for me - silver would put the perfect touch on that razor, I think. Stellar work as always, Max. Thank you for sharing.

I saw this on your site a couple of days ago & drooled all over it then!

outstanding! :)

Nice Blade and love the ORANGE SCALES!

Very nice razor, but the caption is wrong (you marked it as a Pearlduck :w).

Wow! That's all I can say...

Nice as always Max. It's funny but Thephill has been after me to order some of that Blaze Orange G10 for about the last month or so and I kept telling him no. In my exact words "really an orange razor" but now that I have seen one
DAMN!! :rock: well done Max

Hmm.....yep, looks better when you put the brass back on the right way.......:gaah:http://i679.photobucket.com/albums/v...o/DSCN0924.jpg

Awsome Max, just makes me wonder what I could pull off with some better tools! Keep it up!

Your an artist Max, Its beautiful

Alright, so Max and I have done re-scales like this on Ducks, I remember someone doing a Lifetime a while back, any others out there? I'd love to see some pics of more custom Ducks. I can say first hand that the brass is a PAIN to work with and to get to fit nicely so hats off to you Max! Now I just need order some orange G10 :hmmm:. Slight :HJ here, sorry.

If you can dig it up Max, post the link for the Lifetime re-build. I can't for the life of me remember who did it though.......Hey!!! Senior Member post!!! Lol.





Found the one I was thinking of, http://straightrazorpalace.com/works...-gssixgun.html

Here's one from the "teach a man how to fish" department:

1. Go here: The Workshop - Straight Razor Place Forums
2. Click on "Search this forum"
3. Search for this phrase: "mirror AND finish" ("AND" being a logical operator to search for this phrase exactly)
4. There is an illustrated tutorial with all the tools, techniques, and stuff you need for a mirror finish in the Wiki: Hand sanding a blade - Straight Razor Place Wiki.

If you allow me a personal note, I do not quite consider hijacking a thread like this one (instead of opening a new one in the correct forum) without doing even a minimum amount of research on your own (which would, as shown above, have rendered more than adequate results within less than a minute) gentlemanly behaviour.

Regards,
Robin

PS: Max, feel free to move these two posts to an appropriate forum. They distract from the beauty of that razor. :rant:

My dear Max,

I am in awe of your artist's touch on the razors you restore. No, razors you "re-create." Such skill framed in an artist's eye is indeed remarkable. Congratulations. That razor is stunning.

Regards,

Obie

What an inspiration your work is. Stunning!

I would love to purchase one identical to it! If you restore another, this ole Okie would love a shot at purchasing it! Great job!

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that this is my favorite of the fantastic restorations I've seen you do. For me, it all works together in a perfect way.
Way to go Max!

Man-o-man Max! That is the bomb!

WOW, that is a gorgeous razor. Now I want a Double Duck!!!!

yeah baby.
