Thread: Made For The Army..... again.....

*WARNING* PIC INTENSIVE!!!!!!!!

Well my last one was such a GREAT shaver I bid on this one from the bay.
Got it with 5 seconds left.

This is how I got it:

After a bit of cleaning:

Fine work. Can't wait to see the scales you use.

Made some Scales from the Koa wood I got from my vacation to Hawaii and used the original lead wedge and here is the end result:



Put it to the hones following sharptonn's advice from my previous post http://straightrazorpalace.com/show-...made-army.html and boy oh boy this thing is AWESOME!
A bit funky to hone but it turned out pretty darn good I think!

Thanks for Looking!

It turned out great, glad to see an old razor go back on the line.

Beautiful wood.

Beautiful wood.

THANKS! I just LOVE these razors! They produce such a GREAT edge, even from my limited honing experience.

I was wondering how the Koa would look. I think it is pretty good.?
Was considering going with blonde buffalo horn also.
Heck I can change it around if I wanted...LOL

Wow, nice!
I like how you left some pitting there, gives it some character.

THANKS! I have to give credit to anyone who can do a mirror finish...man that must be a LOT of grinding/buffing!

very nice work. and the scales really do look good

I'm probably older than you and I really don't know you but Iwant you to put me in your will for that beautiful razor. (It will give me incentive to live longer)
