Thread: Wolf(something), in gorgeous pressed horn scales.

Thats a beautifull razor,But would hate being the person to unpin that sucker

Even the transformation he can't do that good if he needs a razor to get rid of the last fur, and that's sorta their thing ain't it?

A little tape for protection around the pin, carbide cutter in a dremel tool, it would take seconds!

Seconds?? your a good man,Would take me a couple hrs

I'll just use a pin vise and bore it out by hand. Though I expect I'll have to replace the collars.

Haha, I've got a steady hand for things like that, worked as a goldsmith before.
As soon as the pin head is gone you should be able to push the pin out,
in this case it's probably stuck on the other side so I would "eat" all of the heads and the gently pry it open.
But it's better to be slow than sorry!

Beautiful. Now that you have it in person, any closer idea if it's tortoise or horn?

That razor is gorgeous, I love pressed horn scales. The blade will be great, there is plenty to work with I have a blade that is absolutely destroyed that came on a set of pressed horn scales and it seems to be faintly labeled "WOLF" as well, with a crown stamp above the "OL".

Definitely horn... And the pictures don't do justice to how perfect they are (other than that small bite near the pivot on the pile side).

Yep. That's a John Shepherd razor. By the mid 1810's his son George was producing razors stamped 'SHEPHERD'. The WOLF trademark got bought and sold a couple of times, ultimately ending up with Joseph Elliot, though I honestly have no idea if the Elliots ever produced razors with that stamp, but really, the joke is kind of dead when it isn't a Shepherd producing the WOLF.
