First custom restore.
So I decided to tackle a rescale and finish on a $15 Ebay find.
Specs: Hand sanded blade from 120,220,320a,320b,600,1000,2000. Scales cut out of base from an old pepper mill with copping saw, then cut in half and cut in half again after I saw how thick the first split was. Shaping done with loose sand paper by hand from 150,220,320,600.
Razor: #82 KOLLER & SCHMITZ CUTLERY CO SOL. GERMANY / FOX
Scales: Unknown wood from an old pepper mill.
Wedge: Reused from original
Finish: PARKS Super Glaze
BEFORE:
Th scales were cut too short and the blade rests on the wedge.

Yes that is a nail being used as a pivot pin.

Nice work. I love the "hook" at the pivot end, style points for sure!

I have to agree with Seraphim. That is a really cool look.

Very nice, and resourceful using the pepper grinder.

Recycled timber has so much character that it makes other timber scales look bland and lifeless.

Wow, Good job. That looks great. Amazing how you were able to re-purpose the pepper mill wood.
