Thread: Hoshitombo 8000 restore

Got this Japanese straight in a lot and did a full restore of it for Bob (lz6)
The blade had the very typical pitting right where it closes and touches the scales above the tip. The tang was also fairly tarnished but no deep pitting.
The scales were scratched deeply in some places. Razor was buffed to high shine, scales sanded to 1500 micromesh then buffed.
I have honed razors like that one before and they shave superbly, I expect this one to be no different.
