Thanked: 13245All kinds of restorations :)
Quite a few heading home to my friend Alan...
First two Vintage restores
Left is a Eclipse Cutlery 6/8
Right is a Shampoo 7/8 also stamped Solingen
Next is a Custom Restored "Kaptal" 7/8 also stamped Garantie Wald Solingen in Acrylic Ram's Horn with a Honey Buffalo Horn wedge and Tri-metal pins and washers...
Next a Wilbert "Army Special" which I thought went way to well with a set of Custom OD Green, Tan & Black G-10 scales using a Black Micarta wedge and all Brass washers and pins
There is one more custom coming soon, that is still drying

Beautiful work.
That shoulderless Eclipse really catches my eye. Are the Scales original.

Thanked: 30Not that I am impatient...but I am hoping the other restore that is drying will be a burl - I am itching to see what kind of man art you turned that wood into.
On that subject I just cut a bunch more of the same burl (Maxi, I didnt forget about you), and I am expecting a giant Manzanita burl to arrive any day now.

Thanked: 13245Sorry JJ this one is in Spalted Tamarind, but your Burl has been through the Vacuum Chamber, and I have it dried and ready to go on the right razor
Super Glue (CA) finish Black Horn wedge and Nickel Silver pins and SS washers on the outside, Brass on the inside...

Nice Glen. I especially like the army drab green to match the blade.
