Thread: any examples of a razor using hex nuts instead of pins??

I have a few razors with hex bolts on 'em.
There are a few different makes out there.
This is the best looking one, IMHO

Yea, that is just awful.... (yawn and a big lol)

My take on the whole thing is: if you peen good then peen... if you don't, use what's available that resides inside your 'skill set' and when you're done feel good about it.

That's a fine looking razor, Birnando

The rest of us should be so lucky...

Well done.

It looks even better in person...

I like peens, but I don't mind hex bolts. The ones I have seen I neither prefer nor dislike. I do think vintage razors with vintage scales look best with peens. For everything else anything goes.

My Tim Zowada has a hex nut




as does a couple of my Livi's





and a Friodur



I've actually got a few that use hex nuts.

Beautiful Maxi!! That is exactly what I'm going for!! Not necessarily the hex, as much as the tiny octo nuts. I just ordered some along with a couple of sets of scales. All the razors you all showed me are excellent examples. Just what I needed to see. I think they look great on the new acrylics.

Thank you all for the help!!! Very excellent folks on here!!

Bumping an old thread to ask about hex pins like the ones in the pics from Johnmrson. Where can these be obtained online and which model/size are they? I would like to get some of these.

Hey Maxi
Do you recall at the Toronto meet up Holi was mentioning another supplier for washers that were a different size than Microfasteners?
I have several of their small Hex head screws and nuts but they are actually hex head ... not round headed hex sockets.
If you can recall that company please post the name.
Thanks!
Mike
