I figure, $24 or so per blade and some steel to practice on wasn't too bad. Diamond in the rough that top one is for sure, I hope. Didnt intend to bid that high, it jumped up in the last ten seconds. And I was not in the mood to lose another bid, hehe.
I won't tell you what Iover paid on my first car. But I really wanted it too,,, ;-)
Didnt feel bad mouthed at all engine.... And if you do have some rebuilds lying around, unloved, that will never see your bench top, drop me a PM. I really enjoy the hand work in the winter, and am late to this straight razor party and looking to expand my collection.Quote:

I understand Mike. No, that's not too bad! That top one will be a good looker once your done making some scales for it!!!Quote:

A bunch of handle material came today. Some will be new to me and can't wait to turn some brushes from the Mokume gane.
