I've seen one with a lead back, almost sorry I didn't buy that one... but I wouldn't want lead on my hones.

If I was going to do it I would get some solid round stock and have a machinist mill a slot for the blade. Give enough clearance to epoxy the spine into the milled slot. Make sure the OD of the stock was going to give the proper geometry for the blade width when honing. Might be too pricey for what the project would be worth once completed, unless you know someone, or have the wherewithal to do it yourself.

Thanked: 0I don' t have a lot of power tools, but I do own a dremel. I think it shouldn't be that hard to clamp it, build a guide and 'rout' the groove myself, like the other poster suggested. I'll give a shot, if it doesn't work out, I can always try something else. The money by itself isn't a deal-breaker, I'm not looking to make a profit, but I'm in for the fun of restoring.
Why would you take solid stock exactly, for the water that could get trapped otherwise?
It'll be interesting to see if the demel can actually help restoring a blade. So far, it's has done more bad than good.

+ 1 on the above.
I cant explain how frustrating it is to sharpen a razor that just wont get there and then you find the back or blade sometimes shift!Hur Svenska stålet biter kom låt oss pröfva på.
