I present you! Coboduck

Hi all,

just finished this razor today.
Got this blade (scaleless) because of a trade.
The blade is 13/16 wide.

Then bought a satinedge on the bay for the scales (the blade was a gonner).
After an inspection the scales too were a gonner (cellrot).
The inlays I could use, so I decided to make the scales out of cocobolo and finish them with CA.

This is the result

Another picture of the razor.

Man! That is nice work! Great way to use original components and custom work as well! Turned out sweet!

I am a fan of Coboduck, that is one handsome razor.

Why have i not seen others done up like this before? Me Likey.

Nice work! She came out beautifully.

You did a fantastic job with the bolsters and inlays. Just excellent, really.

And I love the contrast between the inlay and the cocobolo. Nice choice

Truly a beautiful job, love the pin work also.

Seriously cool.

That is wonderfully beautiful. I am so impressed with the level of craftsmanship around here.

Very well done, from start to finish. :rock:

Gentlemen, yes, that is a tastefully recreated Dubl Duck. A handsome razor.

That came out really pretty... :tu

Question?? did you end up using the CA to lock down the blosters/inlays ???

Excellent work

Nice job. Enjoy it After seeing this razor I think Dubl Duck might still be around if they had only offered a Coboduck model for sale...

I like this version more then the original ones, great job!

The scales are stunning, very nicely done.

Beautiful work. Excellent job on the blade resto and the relaid inlays. Very fine pinning work also. Well done.

Nice work! I bought a DD a couple of weeks ago in similar shape. The scales were trashed, but the inlays/bolsters were salvageable. The blade on mine has slightly uneven hone wear, but it's not too bad.

Do you have any advice on making the contour of the scales material match the contour of the bolsters? I've not started making the scales for mine, but I have been thinking a lot about how to match the contour.

Again, good job!

Yes, I locked the bolsters/inlays down with CA.
Wasn't an easy job, had to work precisely on that.

Wow! I've not seen it done this way before, but I'm liking it big time!

Stunning and thoughtful restore. Excellent work!
