    Cool 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

    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 !

    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.

    Is it just me or has your anvil shrunk ?
    I'll take a BBW over a skinny one anyday, big beautiful wedge of course
    Love everything about those scales, especially the 3rd "no pin".
