Tom, that looks very nice & clean! :tu
Love that green Tom. Turned out sharp. Or it will later. Lol.
It's been too long, but I just finished this Frederick Reynolds. Also posted in the restoration forum with extra pictures. Pleased with the blade restoration--the scales were close but some imprecision cost me on the final fit at the tang resulting in some off-centering that I could not fully correct without entirely scrapping the scales. Live and learn though! Love seeing all the projects going on here and am proud to be an occasional participant.

Looks really nice, love the style of that blade.
Always a good shave, from Freddie.

Looking good Tom.
Well, I got the two animals through the green Naniwa 1k with the brown turd helping.
The bevel on the Seal Razor went surprisingly well. A pesky heel-hook finally got rounded and sharp.
The Lizard was easy with exception of a tiny chip in the edge. Finally got it there.
Lots through the Green 1k, thinned as it got there. Popping hairs!
Then, after stropping on fabric, I went to my trusty old blue Naniwa 1k for 100 light, flooded ones.
Hairs are dying in a crush trying to get away! :rofl2:
Bevels are set, time to hone!
Finish them out to-morrow!
