My first Dubl Duck
Picked up my first Dubl Duck today. It's a DD No.1 Special. The store wanted a bit more than I was willing to pay but a tad of haggling and she came home with me. She wasn't much to look at when I first got her, should learn to take before pics, and it had a slight frown. Figured I give it a go any how to see if it could be cleaned up and honed.
Took a bit of time to get it cleaned up but it cleaned up just fine. The bluing on the tang and tail wasn't complete so I just polished it clean. It took a bit to get the frown out though. Thank goodness for the DMT 325 :thumbup1:
Here she is.
I still have to shave with it but it seems it took a good edge.Last edited by Wid; 06-20-2011 at 10:30 PM.

She really is a beauty and I haven't had a DD that was a bad shaver.

Beautiful!
You did a nice restoration. My 5/8 dd Goldedge is a great shaver. I have a 4/8 dd No. 1 but the scales are loose and it is only in fair shape. Lots of work yet to be done on it.
You have really been making some great additions to your collection.
Keep up the good work.
