Custom Restores - CV Heljestrand No. 9 1/2 - Spear #10 - Thiers Issard 1937

This one is heading out to my good friend Erick/Ookla...
Erick said to have fun and do what I wanted on this Swede...

I started by polishing the blade out on the buffers, yes I swear it is the same razor that Erick sent me...

For scales I chose a Dyna Blue acrylic and got a little wild on the wedge end design. when I thought about what color to use for the wedge itself, it finally it dawned on me, "Yellow" after all it is a Swedish razor :)
I used bi-metal pins and washers to hold it all together...

So from Eskilstuna Sweden, here is a No.9 1/2 CV Heljestrand Half hollow squared point razor...

Glen,

You need Max to teach you the ways of the camera and lightbox :)

I'm sure those pics dont do it justice.

Too cool!!!

A perfect outfit for a swede. Telling you to have fun and do what you want always turns out well.

very nice Glen... I just got a few eskilstunas last week in the resto lineup, they will be my first swedes

Anyhow, nice work Glen

All of Sverge is applauding you now I bet. I'm not Swedish but some of my friends are, and I know they love those colors...hehe

Cheers
David

For the record, that blade was covered in black stains when I sent it to Glen. It came out much better than I ever expected.

Great work Glen, as always!

Those scales look wicked!

Nice touch mimicking the blue/yellow colors from the Swedish flag!

My G brother is getting artsy.

Glen!!! You owe me royalties! I've been having this idea for almost two years. I'll be collecting in vegas.
