August, Part I, Horns

I've been pretty busy the last couple weeks, and I've just had a chance to photograph some of the work. After taking the months of June and July off to get married and relax a bit, it was back to full time restoration work on August 1st. Two of these horns are for members (the black ones), and the blonde is for a friend.


Here's the first set. The next two threads will contain G10, micarta, and original restores.

Great work, like the lines of the scales a lot.

Always good to see your work, no exception this time.

Those look great Nate!
Just my opinion but I really do think its hard to beat the look of horn.

No Probs Eric. I had a lot of fun on that wedge. It was a great piece to work on.

Fantastic work,have yet to work with horn but will one day.When you re-scale Maxi,do you have a set demension between the wedge and the blade tip,looks to be about an 8th in. in the pics above.
I do rescaling of my user blades,always copy the old scales and wedge exactally,the demension above can run 1/8 to 3/8.
Do not think it is an important demension,your thoughts?

I think that dimension depends on a couple factors. If it's an original restore with a new wedge, I copy the old wedge. If it's a custom build, I try to get it as tight as possible. I like it when the blade tip "just" slides by the wedge.

Wow, Nate you have been really getting busy mate. An all such high quality, sensational work on all these razors.
