Thread: What Do You Have In The Mail Right Now?

A couple of jaws for my Super Nova lathe chuck.
Some more burl from a friend in Ohio.
A 120 grit CBN wheel to keep my chisels sharp.

I've probably got something else on the way that I don't remember .... always like surprises. 8)

A lot of horn from Robsbits on Ebay.

3 - 160x60x5 mm black horn blank.
3 - 160x60x5 mm light horn blank.
1 - large 12" water buffalo horn.

A nice set of Naniwa Supers with base... 1000, 5000, 8000, 12000.

Time to try my hand at honing!

W&B feather edge... not in the greatest condition but not too bad either. Might try to clean up the steel a bit but happy enough with the scales for now.

Very nice...was looking at that one, didn't bid though, glad it went to you! Looks like it's all good to go...you going to change it in any way?

Not at this point Phrank... the scales look nice (shame they're not in matching horn to my other feather edge lol), but I want to get the sandpaper out and see if I can improve the steel a bit. Depending on how it goes I may end up sending to gssixgun to work his magic, but will see what I can do first.

There were other pics which I assume you saw, some pitting near the toe etc. I was happy with the price, quite fair for a rare-ish model. But the quality explains the ending bid to some extent.

Im actually concerned my RAD is getting worse lol. I had told myself to go easy on new acquisitions, but now I have a bee in my bonnet wanting a pair of each... ie a pair of anchors, a pair of feather edge etc... dangerous I know, as now I need to find another Diamond edge etc lol

It's all good - I've recently completed my 7 day set of W&B Celebrated Hollow Ground, FBU's...but alas, only one spike point in all of them...so now I'm pretty much on the hunt for the spike point Celebrated, FBU's....and one or two others...I now accept the RAD and channel it for good, rather than evil....I look at it in a conservation aspect...some people like saving animals, I like saving razors, and providing them with a safe habitat to live freely, safe from predators and prosper!

So how long till you have a 7 day set of FBU spike point and 7 day set of GB anchors? Those would be nice sets

Just bought my Iwasaki Kamisori 2 from SRD that I have been saving up for. Can't wait to get it!
