Mysterious Scales
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.

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.Last edited by MikeT; 09-15-2018 at 06:13 PM.

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.

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.It's just Sharpening, right?

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...

I can always find one razor for a set of scales. If your willing. I dont have any metal scales.

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.“You must unlearn what you have learned.”
