Case Red Imp Wedge
Not quite restored to original but close
Complete strip down & clean up & tang was re blackened. Blade was not too bad & responded well to 180 - 600 grit SiC coated buffs followed by compounds on Scotchbrite wheels to finish.
Scales were in bad shape with some black staining & a few dings which mostly sanded out. Only just saved the makers mark on the one side but didn't feel it was deep enough to take the gold paint for the finishing touch so left well enough alone.
Stacked SS washers are from Microfasteners. #0 narrow over #0 standard. NiAg pins. The original pins were big round peins over a single washer but I thought the bullseyes looked better.
On to the next razor & I'll start honing when I get a handful ready.Last edited by onimaru55; 07-05-2011 at 11:20 AM.
