Takes a decent edge and shaves well too!

Forget the canadian blade, I want that brush! Oh okay the razor is nice too...

I like the brush too! is that made from one of those old creamer containers?

Nice work Mike. Are those your scales?

Yea ... had a lil mishap with the originals and as much as i didnt really want to, I had some ivory paper micarta so I fugured what the hell .. I actually like the thing. It handles well and looks clean other than some obvious pitting. The brush is just one of those Lee Valley knots i stuck in a (you guessed it jeg227) antique creamer bottle. It's not glued in yet. I'm still toying with the idea of a walnut plug to set it in.
Thanks Nate!
Mike

Those scales turned out really nicely, Mike!

They're really classy man. Nice and clean, and a great wedge fit. Pins look good and clean too.

Hello Mike,

I have a very similar blade I'm in the process of restoring, and I've been trying to learn where it was actually coming from.

Mine's also marked "L.B.Ltd. Montreal", and "USA" on the other side of the shank.
You say yours comes from Germany?

On the blade, it's marked "Black Diamond" as you can see from the picture (sorry for the quality).


I couldn't find anything 'black diamond' from the USA. I'm confused.

thats a really great blade I would love to have something that represents my home country. I have been keeping my eyes open for something but so far have been unlucky. thanks for sharing yours though, enjoy your trip. I know you will have a great time. It is a wonderfull place!

Yea ... sorry somehow i missed your post. Mine said diamond on it before i started sanding it out also although mine is a square point. Other than that the same blade. I used it again tonight and still gives a great shave. Throw some scales on her, hone her up and use it. you wont regret it.
