Case Temperite in Orange Acrylic
This one is my second restore..a case temperite that I got off ebay only to find that the original scales were warped beyond warped..I tried everything I could to straighten them until they were wrecked! Oh well, I like this better anyhow..more personal
Rescaled in orange cracked ice acrylic and I used the original wedge and spacer..hard lesson learned..check that the razor will open fully before drilling the spacer pin hole..I was luckily able to grind a bit off the spacer so the tang would clear. Finished with brass pins and washers. Thanks for looking and comments always welcome

Nice job. What did you use as a spacer for the 3rd pin?

I used the original spacer. Like a small piece of plastic tube.

Looks sweet! I just finished my very first restore and it was this same exact blade. I used red acrylic w/ a black wedge as it kind of reminded me of the case red imp wedges.

Nice! Excellent work regardless of how many restores you've done, top notch! I won a NOS one of these on the bay the other week, cant wait to use it. I hear these take superb edges, amongst the best.

That came out nice. The cracked iced acrylic is very complementary. The material by itself, I would think too much carrot orange, but looks great on the razor. Looks kinda nostalgic and warm!

Nice job. In general I'm not keen on orange scales but this is an exception.
The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.
