    If they were tight enough, it wouldn't take a 9mm to hold the blade up.

    Maybe someone has some ideas... I've never been able to do it.

    Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.

    all of the blades on this page are modeled like that even the restored ones so maybe its just for show? not saying it isn't loose though it may be. Is there anywhere that scales such as the ones in this razor can be purchased? maybe I can replace just the scale on this particular side?

    Just a thought & haven't tried it & don't know if it has been, but if you do remove the scales to glue them, maybe gluing a large thrust washer to the inside of the scale may provide the additional support to hold the scale for repining etc
    Anyone tried this?
