Wade & Butcher from Rockler
So I go into Rockler kinda often....
Anyways I was talking to the one counter guy and letting him know how I like to use straight razors.
He says "I have one that was in my garage that I found on the rafters. I will bring it into you/"
Fast forward about 1 yr..... and he brought it in today....
Here is what I got:
A BIT rough...
Let's see what I can do with it....................

Lots of potential there! You can actually see a nice, like new shine behind a lot of that rust.
Be gentle kind sir, you could have a real treasure hiding under there.
The scales are toast tho!Chevhead likes this.

Looks like it should clean up nicely - any etching on the blade face?

A little oil and chalk rubbed on there might clean it up.

Back when I was young and poor. I had some chisels that need some stropping and polishing. I had a old leather belt. I used the rough side of the hide and put a little oil and chalk and stropped the chisel on it and it polished it up nice. Just chalk board chalk is all I used and 3 and 1 oil I believe. My gunsmith friend asked me how I thought of this . I don't know just seen it there and tried. use a little oil not a whole lot.
