Thread: My First Custom J.W. Whitham

Hi, new to the forum, this my first attempt at customising a razor. I bought the razor in average condition, it is a J.W Whitham Manufacture Shefield 1/4 hollow grind, the blade was rusty and the spine has grind marks from previous sharpening attempts, very loose fit in the scales also. The scales are good they just need a freshen up, not sure what knid of wood. So far I have re-shaped the tip and added finger groves on the tang, still deciding whether or not to do some file work on the spine. Feel free to comment, I appreaciate criticism good and bad.
