Thread: New Member with a New Razor

Nice razor. I think i would contact the maker to double check, but you should be able to tighten that by tapping the pins very lightly and many times with a very small hammer or a ver solid table spoon. Lots of little taps, the end of the pin should look like a mushroom and it is the edges of the mushroom head that hold it togethers. So tapping gently all around the outer edge of the pin. So really tiny circles in the tapping. of course the other side needs to be on a solid surface like a metal plate or the tail of a vice.

Hi & welcome to SRP The Library is the place on here to go to in order to learn about this great tradition. Here are some links, a couple might be from it which might be useful but once you click on Library, find the Beginners Guide. Any questions just ask.
Good luck my friend.

Yea, I'd go along with RezDog and contact the maker to let them know you are not too happy with the rattle from the toe spacer. I don't think it should rattle on a brand new razor. It should be able to be fixed as RezDog says by peening the pins.

It looks fairly tight. Does the whole lot spin or rattle like it is on a sleeve. I would think that if it's just a spacer the if loose then the scales would have a bit of movement. I would suggest contacting the seller as if it is on a sleeve then tightening might not help. Nice razor and good luck with getting it sorted

Hello Willyg!

I am the maker of the razor. First of all I am sorry for the inconvenience!
I would offer to tighten the pin for you, but since I live in Austria, it depends on where you come from if that is the best and fastest way to solve your problem. If you have bought it at SRD, I am sure that they will help you.
In any case, some gentle tapping should solve the Problem quickly.
If you want me to repin it or if you need some advice to do it yourself you can contact me at any time: mail@koraat-knives.at

best regards,
Ulrik
