Today I finished up another restoration with custom made scales.
It is an old Veteran Blade, M. Gambert N.Y. made in Germany.
I cleaned up the blade, then made new scales. The scales are poured resin. I started with a thin piece of black G10 backer, set the diamond w/notches Abalone. Once cured I did the normal cut, shape and buff. The wedge is made from a chunk of Walrus tusk.
And jut for you "Baldy" I added more than one picture this time...LOL
I hope you guys enjoy.
Nice job with the scales and the blade. Good looking razor.
Great looking razor and fantastic scales, you have a piece of functional art in your hands.
She's a beauty.
I never get tired of seeing old steel given a new life.
Now that is cool i love when folks blend the products in scales
Very classy, excellent scales and a great clean up on the blade.
The black and abalone contrast looks great. They look like in a tight, squared up line.
Quite a task lining up all those inlays. I know they want to shift when applying the resin. Did you tack them down first before the final pour?
Thank you and yes sir I did. I used industrial 442 but only a pin spot so there would be no bleed out. The issue with using 442 is that you only have on chance to get it right. Once you touch down your done.Quote:

P.S. Walrus tusk in pretty unusual, very cool.
That is a beautiful set of scales. Excellent work!
Very nice job on the scales. If she shaves as well as she looks you are in for quite a time with her. Very well done.
