Restorations galore

First, two blades that got a full vintage restore.
I cleaned up the blades on the buffer, repolished the scales, and repinned with nickel silver pins and stainless washers. The blades are Japanese Kikuboshi #3300 hollow ground, and H. Diamond #120 wedge.

Second, another set of two Japanese blades with custom scales as the originals were shot.

Koshaku #333 re-scaled in black smoke acrylic with brass pins and washers. This one is the first Japanese razor with such intricate etch pattern on the blade. I did not completely remove all the pitting on the front size to preserve the etch as much a possible.

The other blade is H. Diamond #77 re-scaled in bone linen Micarta, with brass hardware.

Something about the color on the bone linen micarta makes me want to eat it, looks real tasty :p

Thanks guys I really am liking the bone micarta look.

Wow! They look beautiful I absolutely love Japanese straights western style razors, they all look wonderful, but i certainly could make room for those top two.
