This was a fun project to do. I really enjoy the old west and always thought that the "Red Injun" razor would a good choice to do something fun with. I picked this one up (a bit thinner than what I wanted, but the price was right) as she was part of a 7 day set and I didn't feel bad about making modifications. The blade still has some very minor pitting up by the spine, but overall she cleaned up nicely.

The scales are G10, brass domed washers and stainless steel pins...yes really, stainless steel pins (I couldn't find Nickel Silver locally...so I figured why not try it). I couldn't get them to peen as they were, so I heated them until they were glowing bright orange (not on the razor), held them there for 10 seconds and then quenched them in water. They were still very hard, but I was able to peen them and tighten them up nicely. The scales are a bit heavy due to the nickels, but like I said I had a lot of fun doing this one and she's for my rotation anyway I hope you enjoy it. I'll hone her up later tonight and shave with her in the morning.

Here are the pics:












As always, any critiques are always welcome, after all, how else am I gonna get better at this

Thanks
