OCD Custom "What's old is new"

She is an 8/8 swayback with large jimps top and bottom, French point with a bit of a tail. The grind is full hollow, but I left it a little on the meaty side, at about 15/1000. The finish is a quick dip in hot acid, just to give it an aged and uncared-for look, the rest of the metal I gave a slight melting with a torch to roughen it up as well.

The scales are bone with a three color dye job, then a nice buffing. The photos may not show but these are REALLY pretty, they may be my favorite scales to date.

For those of you who like to restore old razor to look like new and want to ask me why???????

The answer is "I don't know"

as always, thanks for looking

Looks like something out of mad max...that's pretty cool.

The color of the scales and blade look great together. That is a mean looking blade.

When the blade is closed......it's just screams Alligator to me. don't ask me why

That looks like something everyone is told to stay away from on eBay :rofl2: Very cool looking!!

Whoah, Bob! Tell the truth. You took it outside to take pictures, left it out there and forgot about it for a week!
I know about that "refinery rain" down in Baytown! ;)
Nice er....work, Buddy!

Bob, great look. Always nice to see something different. Well done.

Love it, love it, love it!
I adore that finish on the steel, and the aggressive looking shape and powerful jimps make it look like a serious tool. The scales set it off perfectly. I imagine that one is one of those that you actually need to hold in your hand to fully appreciate it.
Thanks for sharing.
