Thread: Antelope #16 Full Hollow Ground

Hello all. Picked this up a couple months ago and it will be my first resto job. I love the shape of this razor with no shoulder and the point the way it is.
The scales were busted and appeared to be celluloid, so I ground the pins with a Dremel, unpinned the blade (first attempt at doing this) and was trying not to break the scales again for practice toward future restores. Needless to say, didn't happen. I busted them with out hardly any effort at all! Man those things are delicate.
Anyway... can someone give me there opinion if too much metal would have to come off the edge (pitting) for this to be worth it. I would have to send it to someone for honing since I have never done it before, although I am going to learn someday, just trying to get my feet wet with this and loving it so far! Any info about where this was made and time period would be good to know as well


Thanks
Eric
