Thread: Three straight razors english+german

Hi there .While on the hunt for folding and fixed blade knives I've come across these razors. Any chance you could date and tell me if they are worth repairing them please thankyou in advance.This last one is a joseph rodgers cutlers to there magisterial.

They all look like they will clean up and made useable. The sheaf works may lose some steel at the edge. Some scales may need replacing.

They look like they will be able to shave again.

All the answers are in there.

Nice. Some work on it but they shave again after that.

Great finds...
With a little attention this all look like could not only shave, but shave several generations...

Thanks so much .which one should I attempt first 2nd 3rd and forth as I haven't done anything like this before?

The bottom one has a thicker grind and so less likely to break by stupid mistakes. IF you choose to use any kind of power tool such as a Dremel, be hyper careful about the direction of the rotation of the wheel to make sure that the rotation is in the direction of the spine to the edge. Going in the opposite direction can be catastrophic--for you and the blade.

Thanks so much for that.👍

Actually though, I would highly recommend that you stay away from power tools for your first restorations. You can accomplish a lot with a variety of wet/dry sandpapers and light oil.

Will do .then comes sorting the scales out.On the crown & sword scales ,the scale that hasn't got the emblem on has broken off at the swivel end of the blade.as on one of the other blades that was good I thought about replacing the broken one with that .them attempting to make new scales for that blade if you get my meaning?
