-Maybe adding some jimping for grip.

If you guys like keeping things as original as possible....BE WARNED!

Heres the razor from the bay

Come along and join this WIP with me, it may not be updated day to day(Because I dont have a very acute attention span, but it'll be fun)

Let me know what you guys think so far and of my goal. I have already started unpinning it, but since Im ditching the original scale, I could just snap them off. But that is much to barbaric!

+1 on what pixel said. The scales look ivory. Recale the blade but maybe think about repurposing the ivory scales.. Maybe reshape to fit another blade or keep it for wedge material.. Good luck with the restoration. Looking forward to to swing the results. FYI carbon fiber is hard stuff, don't know if you have worked with carbon fiber before but you might wanna try working with black g10 or micartA before you dive in to carbon fiber. Just my $.02
