Thanked: 0First Restoration - Dubl Duck Dwarf
Here it is! My first finished restoration. Its a Dubl Duck Dwarf that came with plenty of rust on the blade, and some discoloration on the scales. I sanded it down and honed it up, and now it is a sweet little shaver. I sanded it up to 800 grit with sandpaper then up to 12k with a progression of micromesh pads. Then honed it starting at a 1k, then pyramiding between 5k and 8k, and finishing with a 12k (all Naniwa SS). And last but not least, I used a homemade leather strop with CrOx to put the final touches on. I had a lot of trouble getting the gunk out between the pins and ended up using bits of floss.
Since it is my first restoration I know it isn't perfect, and I would greatly appreciate tips and critiques of any kind! Thanks for looking!
