    Default Mammoth tooth as scaling material?

    IMO, it's already been rescaled so one more isn't going to hurt anything. But those scales are restorable. I fix up old Sheffield scales like that all the time (and yes, I saw the other picture with the bug bites).

    I wish I could tell you anything about the razor other than 'it's really weird'. I've seen one or two others with the strange tail and I just have no idea what's going on there. Maybe they were made for surgical prep?

    Be that as it may, it's a fine, fine looking razor!
    Thanks Zak- yea I told my wife 'don't lose' I agree that the bug bites can be filled, I could have also thought about the replica route but idk I felt like either mammoth tooth or musk I horn would be a suitable match. I have a couple other tillotsons and the came with honey horn.

    As for the blade, if its got you stumped, i doubt we'll ever know any more about it... yea the weird tail thing... Idk or where to even start with that one. The blade to me really resembled a W&B ottoman Egyptian & royal Windsor, which I have been after for a long time... I have a thing for tillotsons too so I was kinda a best of both work thins I guess. It's got a super hump tang and swayback looking spine. Ill post more pics 12-25.
