It must be experience but I have no clue how from those pictures you can decide which blades are good to restore. I have a knife that looked awful. By rubbing it with metal cleaner it got so shinny and nice. I was very surprised. I did nothing more to it. I wished I had some power tools to make it look even better. Obviously, my knife, which I used to cut chunks of bait with, is not a razor but....

Well you can never tell 100%. But I look at the hone wear, the edge and for deep rust. Black streaks are bad, especially around the edge. Some kind of steel eating fungus? lol Originally Posted by Alraz

Now, I will even take some and "bread knife" out the nicks in the blade. I bet over half of these will make great shavers. We will see I guess.

Looks like you've got some good ones there - just need a little elbow grease (and time) and you'll be good to go! Not bad at all for the price IMHO!

Oh, I see. Thanks a lot for the comment Ron. I would sure like to have the smiley razor near the bottom right. I think that one alone would be a great project (I am not saying that others would not be good). For an unknown reason, I love the shape of these razors.
Al raz.

The Pipe razor looks real nice. The frameback would be good for slicing up a grapefruit.
but I think you did fine with that.

ok well i got bored at work and i decided to have a closer look at your winnings...i even rated them for the hell of it :P Green are what i deem good restore candidates, yellows are possible the rest...i'd just use for my sick twisted experiments and make a frankenrazor :-)
ps...the ones i can make out are the two pipe razors (obvious) and i think the one in the right column at the bottom is a Friodur (anyone confirm?)
pps...i am in no way an expert in the restoration of blades take what i say with a grain of salt...maybe a ton of salt
