I agree. I am gonna mess around with the other scales from the old english razor to see what can be
done with old horn, but I kinda like the look ofvthe old and new. Still have a few tweaks to finish her up.
It's too bad that there isn't really a technique for antiquing the new horn to give it an older appearance. Maybe there is
I considered adding scratches and wear marks.... but it would look as fake. Like hollywood types trying to look younger.Quote:

Did you do anything to thin them?
So I thinned out the scale. Started at 180,320,400,600,800,1000,1500,2000. Thistime I taped the scale to a piece of wood and put the sp on the bench. Sorry, no pics were taken.
Standard stuff.
Now, pinning. I mocked up everything with microfasteners, now have removed the microfasteners from the wedge end and put in the brass rod, with the washers on.Attachment 143489
The rod was cut with a set of wire cutters, then shaved down with a dremel stone.
I peen on the side of a hammer, using a tack hammer. Not the greatest, but it gets the job done.
A great tutorial is on srp by gssixgun.
I tape the underside so as not to get scratched up.
I peened the tang , nothing different to show.
I leavecabout a washer width of material of the rod to peen on both sides.Attachment 143490Attachment 143491Attachment 143492
