    Cool Heirloom Custom Restore - Little Valley Knife Association

    So this one came in from one of the guys over at TSD lucky so and so got an Heirloom

    I need help to identify two razors | TheShaveDen

    There are some pics in that thread there, plus the ones Ryan sent me


    Before:

    Name: Little Valley Knife Association 9.jpg Views: 1037 Size: 61.3 KB



    Name: Little Valley Knife Association 10.jpg Views: 890 Size: 58.4 KB


    Wrong scales, Broken point, Chipped blade... I honestly told him I wouldn't invest the money, but it is after all an Heirloom razor, so we went forward.. I know if I were fortunate enough to have an Heirloom blade I would probably do everything I could also...


    After:

    Name: IMG_3010.jpg Views: 827 Size: 25.1 KB


    Name: IMG_3011.jpg Views: 821 Size: 23.8 KB



    Name: IMG_3012.jpg Views: 811 Size: 21.8 KB



    Name: IMG_3013.jpg Views: 810 Size: 17.0 KB


    Scales: Amber Flame acrylic I chose this color as I have always felt it lends a vintage look

    Wedge: Faux Ivory

    Pins: Brass

    Washers: Brass

    Fixed up the point, and managed to save all the stamps too, polished out to a pretty darn good satin with just a couple of battle scars left but ya gotta look hard

    Hones: Chosera 1k, Henckels 1-3-8, Thuringen

    Thanks for looking

    AWESOME !!!

    You know I love to see the old ones get brought back to life.

    This one was given a new lease on life with exceptional class. Beautiful as the day she was made just a little older. Love the scale choice. It really gives it a nice vintage look to it.

    Beautiful work. Snatched another one from the grave Glen. I would never have guessed the original state without the before pics. Well done
