Thread: W&B "The Celebrated" FBU in Horn

This one is heading home to Craig

One full inch of of beautiful Sheffield steel left with a rich even almost black Patina.
We did some tricks on the Black Buffalo Horn Scales, Craig asked for a third pin but no actual pin so I used a 1/8 inch Gold acrylic rod to tie in with the Amber wedge.. I countersunk one side and locked it in with Acra-Glass Gel it should be there to stay
I used Tri-Metal pins and washers for the bullseye look..
Horn was polished with 3M cloths 400, 600, 1200, 4k, 6k, 8k then Ren-Wax

Honing:
Chosera 1k , BBW, Coticule finish








Thanks for looking

Very nice G and I particularly like preserving the patina it took 150 years to acquire. The scales are like the originals too. First rate !

Lookin' good man. That's a nice patina on the blade.

Beautifull preservation,as it should be

Glen, you have skills other men would spend 2 lifetimes to acquire -- I'm one of them. I bow at your feet, Sir!

Very nice. I have to agree with the patina. Some razors just look better when they look their age. I am curious as to the thickness of the spine. If that hammer is like most others than it is rather thick.

I really like the scales and the blade is amazing with the patina

Nice work once again G-man! And you are correct, that is a great patina on that blade. You served her well

Very nice, the patina is beautiful! BTW Just realised we're anvil buddies lol

Another great razor back on the line, to shave again.
