Thanked: 13249Torrey Barber's Notch
Another one that Alan had sent me, didn't take to long at all... Sorry no before pics the camera was inside the house
The razor was so covered in Red Rust that you couldn't read the tang, polished all that off on the buffers. Tossed away the old beat up wood scales somebody had pounded on there years ago and used these Faux Bamboo's off another Torrey that I had in the shop... New pins & washers in and out finishes it off and it is going on the hones here in a bit,,, Going to do the exact same routine as I used on the Case XX but thinking a Coticule this time round...

Careful Glen, you might find you only need 2 stones for everything... Maybe not

Thanked: 13249Two more,, a Faultless and another Torrey
Two more that Alan sent...
I started on these Slick Black scales then stopped and took a pic of how bad they were that Greenish Brown stuff all over them is actually oxidation (note the tape stripe)... A bit of work starting with 220 grit sandpaper and ending with polishing and they are Slick Black again...
The before Pics
The finished pics
These are heading to the hones too, but I am going to video another 1 Stone Honing session on that Bamboo Torrey using a Coticule since I haven't done a Vid of that yet... IIRC I have a Thuringen and now the PHIG might as well do the Coticule version while I am goofing

That bakelite looks like an 8 ball

Thanked: 13249Last one of the bunch
This is an older Morley, that has the Clover, but no "Clover Brand" at least that is what I am thinking, it is also stamped Hamburg Ground on the blade face...
Sorry no before epics on this one either as the steel was buffed the other day when I did the Torrey with the Bamboo.. I keep trying to remember to leave the shop camera in the shop but sometimes I just forget to bring it back out there
Re-polish again on a set of Slick Black scales and i used Nickel Silver pins with those new smaller SS washers to hold it back together again

The small washers look great as does the whole restore. Can't wait for mine to arrive.
Got a couple here that just have to have those little critters on emThe white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.
