Thread: 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.

Really nice razors Stefan..

I have always liked the look of the bone linen micarta, has a subtle classy feel to it

Nice Work Brother

Great work.
That Koshaku #333 is a beauty1

May your workshop always have it's light on.

Nice work all round.
Quite like the satin look on the scales of the first 2.

Stellar work Stefan

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

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.
