KING COTTON A F Bannister save

I've been wanting to save this blade for several years. Finally finished it. A F Bannister , Newark N J---Back of tang is blank, no stamp. Original scales were tortoise but disintegrated over time. New scales are Grenadille and I decided it would look good with the third pin and roller rest.

It sharpens like a champ and shaves close and smooth on the first pass. Finished on a Coticule.....:chapeau

Beautiful work, Thank you for sharing it. :tu

Neat, Jerry! :tu
Looks to be a hardware variety. Possibly German-made? Those are always good, it seems!

Do you think the scales were tortoise, or possibly the tortoise/celluloid? That stuff seems to just crumble!

That's a great job, it's going to serve you well!

Nice work!

Excellente' my friend! :tu
