Thread: Look what Daddy bought !!!

Not sure if Glen (gssixgun) will start a thread with this, as he does with a lot of his restos.

Ill drop a couple of pics here for now. Shes all done and on her way home.

I am hoping to get her Monday and have a nice wicked shave !

Whoa, a broadsword?

Ah, now that I see the 'After' shot, allow me to congratulate you on your new blade. She's, uh, sizeable. My 8/8 feels lacking now.

Details, We had talked about a few ways to approach this, in fact I actually worked up a tang in Ivory Micarta for this but I would have had to grind the old Tang to a just a small stub to fit it to the the new one.. Cary decided he wanted to keep the Makers Mark and we shifted gears to making a custom set of scales to fit all the idiosyncrasies of the razor..
I had to draw up a custom set because of the shortness of the tang and the size of the blade would not allow for the deep heel on any normal curves.. I also liked that Cary decided on the G-10 as I wanted the strength of that material since I would be drilling the pivot hole close to the end of the scales from the placement of the new pivot hole..

We used the Green G-10 for the scales and a Jade Green acrylic wedge, I ended up using Brass pins and triple stacked washers, the build came out super strong and honing and stropping were much easier than I had first anticipated with a shortened tang...

More pics to show the wedge

That is an amazing piece of work. That thing just looks massive. Good call on the scales, they came out great. The Jade wedge sets 'em off perfectly.

The Blade of Doom-I like it!

Oh wow! That looks like fun. I can't wait to see what Glen does with the scales. Congrats man!

Edit: just saw the finished razor. Who needs a little blue pull after seeing that baby. Congrats!!

Great work Glen; nothing less expected.

Kudos to you Earthdawn for sending it out to the Pro's for a restore. A beautiful old blade brought back to life, to shave again.

I think that was left over from the days when Nephilim walk the Earth before the flood. Its way to big for a human face. Dang! Sure turned out pretty though.
