Thread: The Butcher Shop

Well the camel bone blanks I ordered to wrap her in showed up today. After a couple hours of work I have come to the conclusion I much prefer the ease of working with horn over bone, but the bone does have a beautiful appeal that I really like once polished and buffed. Both smell GAWD AWFUL though!! Anyway here are some after pics

I went with the original chopper style with small domed washers, both scales and wedge are camel bone. Although I can't for the life of me figure out how to get these pics right side up

where did you get the camel bone? I havent looked recently, but when i was looking i couldnt find anything i really liked. Those are beautiful!

There is a seller on eBay (he is also a member here I believe) that I follow, he is who I buy all of my restoration materials from. He is reasonable priced and one of the only sellers i have found that sells stamped original style collars as well as both black and honey horn blanks. Not sure how dropping names works in threads but I can PM you his eBay username.

Well, it'll still be a smile. Just not a pretty one

Here's one I've had awhile but I don't think I ever posted it. On the beveled spine it says The Celebrated Fine india Steel & on the blade it says Diamond Edge Razor.

That is a fine looking razor - I have that one, but the, "The Celebrated Fine India Steel", was ground off the spine of the razor, which still bugs me to this day, been looking for one like yours for awhile. Mine has the horn scales with, "Diamond Edge" on them, another version of the original scales on yours.

That's a really nice one, thanks for sharing....

India Steel, silver steel, magnetic, damascus were used as a marketing ploy. In this case seems like they want you to believed that its Wootz steel, but very unlikely.

Thats one beautiful blade Russell1989! Id appreciate a pm with that info.
