Thanked: 993Boker, King Cutter
Here's a nice little Boker King Cutter. Sanded from 180 to 2000. Then some polishing. Again, Padauk scales (mostly due to the fact that I don't have much else lying around right now).
The wedge is cow bone, and brass pins/washers. That's not a pit on top of the spine either....I noticed after I'd taken my pictures that there was a sticky thumbprint up there!
Enjoy and thanks for looking!

Padauk is a lovely wood. Very clean, slick job on the scales. Great work on the Boker.

Thanked: 1072Another nice one, great photos too.
Did you bleach the cow bone or just use as is?"I aint like that no more...my wife, she cured me of drinking and wickedness"

Thanked: 993Baldy,
The cow bone has a special process behind it. First, I need to get them from the butcher. Second, I take them to my in-laws two Golden Retrievers. I let them chew them out for a couple hours and then after the snow melts I pick up the old bones and saw them up for the wedges.

Awesome work! Your shavers look fantastic. Curious about the process of restoring the blades? Is it all by hand or what tools would I need to take on a restoration project?

Nice job. The scales really suit the blade.
