    I love all tang stuff... bluing, gold, hammering, titanium, but in some cases I'd rather it be uniform. Goldwash is the exception, but bad bluing I will take off. This is not BAD bluing, just a little weird so I asked for opinions. The scales are warped loose and a bad wedge so.... I think I may want to rescale it. But because this is the oldest cousin/version/make of the Dubl Duck series I kinda wanna find a way to keep everything, including pins, original.

    That's what I was thinking. But the top isn't blued so its kinda outta whack. Oh well. I really like this one- it was one that I set a high max for but no one else bid. So i got lucky.

    The top of the tang isnt blued on the Red Imp either...probably normal.

    Great find!, chances are the wedge isn't poor quality or a repin if the wedge protudes uniformly the scales have most likely shrunk. Also I agree with the rest of the replies. I vote to leave the bluing alone.

    I've got a Bresnick Twin Duck "Hand Forged" with a blued and hammered tang and the spine is not blued. Nice piece you have there. Should make an outstanding shaver once honed up.

    So the bluing is definitely staying. Now... original scale fix up or rescale I have to decide. I'll try and get better pics of the situation. I'm really hoping that it will be an outstanding shaver. She'll take my hones' virginity. And at $10 I can't believe no one else bid...

    My guess is the wedge is just loose and you can move it back into position, but thats just a guess.

    Bresnick made so many models of razors new ones keep popping up. each time I think I know them all another comes up like yours.

    I also have blued razors with only the neck and tang blued, the entire blade just bare metal.

    Does the say Germany or Solingen or have an marks on it like a rooster maybe?
