W&B and Suredge restores.
Those are going to Maksim next week.
The W&B is near perfect condition with minimal hone wear. I tried my hand at satin finish using homemade scotch brite wheels and I think it came out pretty well. scales are black G-10, red acrylic wedge.
Next up is a Suredge.
Blade was in perfect condition no hone wear with a few small specks on it, that I did not remove completely because I wanted to keep the etch on the blade. I was not sure but I thought those hammered tang razors were with blued tangs, so I reblued this one.
Scales are stabilized walnut, with wipe on poly finish.

REALLY like that second one, esp the tang and the bluing on the tang!

They both look great. My Suredge has a blued hammered tang. I love the W&B. You did a super job.
