    Default Hope Cutlery

    This one belongs to a new Aussie member , Mcduck. I have him to thank for the before pics as I always neglect that part.
    I was 50/50 on going ahead with it but an initial bevel set looked promising. It was carefully un pinned & started at 400 grit.
    Such a thin grind I couldn't start coarser but enough rust was removed & good steel was eventually found at the edge.
    Scales got a light buff with the Novus 1,2,3 system & re- pinned.
    Viola !

    Very nice. Sensational work with the blade, the finish is excellent. The whole package looks great Oz.

    Wow, that's amazing! And that is one nice looking razor. That should serve Mcduck very well.

    Very nice, great finish on the blade, and nice looking scales.

    Excellent looking razor. I like the finish that came out on the blade. Very nice restoration.

    + 1, very nicely done! Was the tang area in good nick (if not it's extremely well done) and that kind of scales can be hard (picky) to clean, I guess!?
