Anybody have an idea who made these scales?
Can't remember where I got them.
Trying to decide what to do with them.
Their a little heavy. Figured if I used them I'd shave them down to decrease weight, maybe do some kind of metal etching art.

Hmmm...don't know. But they'd look good next to mine.:angel:

Most likely they are aluminum. It’s a nice looking group. I would just polish and pick heavier blades. Or trade them with your friend for some horn and bone scale material.
If they are heavy, they could be German silver, but I think aluminum. Should not be too heavy?
Give me a sec. I'll weigh them. Cooking brunch at moment.
EDIT: Okay got it, 21grams. Actually they don't feel that heavy. Definitely nice scales.
If you promise to make a 6 day set for show and tell, you can have them Mike.
Send um to Rez, he's probably got some blades for um.
I've got enough aluminum scaled razors.
He's got the better deal, anyhoo. :gwh:
Those all nice looking. Would make a nice set. Too bad i dont have a group of fazors to make a set with them or id take them off your hands. You could make a 3 day set and a few old sheffield razors not matching.
Nice set no mater what ya do with them.
Shaun the offer is out there if you are interested.
I was thinking about it and should probably keep two for a weekend set I've got.
Two for Rez to make his weekend set.
And one more for whom ever has a lonely blade that longs for the feel of a shiny metal dress...
:w
I can always find one razor for a set of scales. If your willing. I dont have any metal scales.
Okay sounds good! It's yours Jerry!
So I also have some blades for the Secret Brotherhood of Broken Blades, also known as BOBB (the S is silent! Duh!!!).

A Herder 77, 160, 77, 49, 25.
All from factory never honed perfect stamps...
and broken.
Come on guys! We gotta couple Herdersori here, a couple Herder shorties, remove the big chip from the middle one and have a 5/8 NOS Herder...
Ehhh???
Just let me know if your interested.
I was gonna necropost on the Broken Blade thread but decided against it.
Victor aka bluesman was looking to make a pattern welded razor with old broken blades. Give him a PM and see if that is still on the list of things to do in Feb.
Pattern welded razor?
First thing that came to mind was using the spine and tang to make a frameback.
What's a pattern welded razor? :)
EDIT: just looked it up, I think I got it but curious to see what he intends.
Most of what is being sold as Damascus steel these days is actually pattern welded steel. The true Damascus is a Wootz crucible steel from the Middle East. So he intends to flatten a bunch of old razors, stack them together and forge weld them and then hammer them into a billet and make razors from them. He won’t be the first but it should be a fun project all the same.
I dont remember who, but the last guy tried with old rusty blades. It was close but the weld didnt take well. Some nice shiny steal would be the way to do it.
Took a second and third look at those. Damn its a shame. A can see a shorty or two but i have a coupe already to do and really dont need one as i got one. Save one for yorself to make a shorty out of and see if Vic wants them.
Well I've got others that I saved for myself. Got them in a lot a while back. I'll see if he wants them.
I'm surprised Tom didn't chime in, he is quite skilled with ...soris, a Herdersori 49 would be pretty cool.. ehem! :)
Could be part of a two day Herder 49 set...
Also I've got a W&B Celebrated big blade chopper that has a big chip out of the tip that I need to work on, gonna be a supreme shorty!
Also I have enough broken Herders put to the side to make a Herder shorty 7day set! Lol
I'm gonna have to go for the largest shorty collection. Yep, that will be my claim to fame!
:roflmao
Why not. You will have to only shorty 7-day set. Could be a fun project. Tom could always use them for chimes.
Now Jerry, easy does it there... if you're gonna be a member of BOBB, then you can't consider wind chimes a mission success... as clearly stated in the mission statement outlined in the handbook.Quote:

The Herdersori blade has been sent to B52 in Canada.....Via France! :rofl2:
I figured let him have a go?

Well shoot, I'm gonna have to think of a clever way to get people interested.
I think I'll make a raffle. Qualification will be working on a broken blade and sending it to a buddy for SOTD.
Muahahahahahahah!!!
The Broken Blade Raffle! With enticing prizes that even Tom can't refuse!
To be continued....

This would be a challenge I think, but very doable.

Elaborate please :)
I will watch for it. Your idea has too much detailed work for me. I seen one blade there that could be made into a Shorty and still have enough edge to play with. It was the first one with the painted letters in the face. If you just have to get rid of these, I think I could find time to make a shorty of it with a round tip and smiling edge.
