Ya, I think that one is bespoke anyway! :banghead:
If you let me rent a room, I'll boost you through his window. Pretty handy with a lock pick tooQuote:

You guys hit the nail on the head though, those scales are all of the above and more
I saw a pic of a pretty sweet Mossberg he shared awhile back so I'd not sneak in :)
Mouton those are beautiful!
That silly. This is Canada, people don't shoot people here. Mrs Chrétien did knock an intruder out with a bronze statue though, so in keeping with that Mrs Moss is likely to knock you out with an iron skillet. We may not be quick to draw around here but we have some really tough women. Hell hath no furry like a pissed off Canadian woman!
Pretty good shot of Whiskey too, i,f i dont say so myself,,Ty
You never met my mother. In her prime 4' 11-1/2", very bright red hair. Slow to anger and then run for the hills. She had a reputation in our neighborhood as the go-to person when injustice, prejudice or plain old badness occurred. She was witnessed one busy five o'clock hour backing a woman, who had called her a red headed bitch in the back room to my face, down two blocks right thru the rush hour traffic. The local policeman stopped the traffic to let her continue, unabated across a busy boulevard. Our family's little grocery store experienced a several week increase in business as an after effect.Quote:

So as I am ready to pin-up something from here and there, I always revisit the pile.......
At times, seeing things almost done will spur the creation and improvement of other things.
In my mind, anyway! ;)
So I came across these nice old picbone scales....That big old Electric would be great in those...
AHA! A John Heiffor blade with the Chicago Columbian Exhibition Horticulture Building!
Should be great with these 'leafy' scales. TBH, I dig old blade etches with colorful celluloid anyway.
One becomes two!
Austin's collars. Silver on the picbone and brass at the top of the celluloid.
A bit shorter and thicker wedge for the picbone. Here goes!

Got them done. Now I have painted myself into the honing corner...
4 to-do.
Gotta bust out the rocks! ;)

I have never had a set of pick bone scales in hand. They look interesting enough. French fox antlers is guess.
Just bone, carved and dyed to simulate stag. Super thin.

Faux Tom the joke was that the french spelling of fox was faux. I know it was a little ways out there. Kind of playing off the French fox fur jacket I got my wife for Christmas.
moutonrouge, those scales are absolutely beautiful. I wasn't able to see them yesterday but so glad I got the chance today. Really special work there, flat out masterpieces.
Gawd....Honing... The top 3 got off the green Chosera with brown turd slurry thinned-out and popping hairs in 5-10 minutes each...
Attachment 260112
Razorfelds 'again rattler' was a pain.
Is it me, or do some old Sheffields seem to have that 'high angle' hone job more than most? Perhaps pasted-strop wear?
Over an hour of slurrying the green hone, one layer...now two. Back to one. Now two.
Pushing hard on the slurry while thinking "I shall NOT bust out the DMT" over and over.
Taking the top of the bevel off with one layer and trying to find the edge with two.
Wotta pain! :banghead:
Finally got the thing popping hairs all the way around. Two new layers from here on out.
I like to go about 50 strokes on the 1000 SS after the Chosera.
I might just go 100 on Richard's! ;)
I know they are both 1k hones, but the leap from the SS to the Norton 4/8 goes much easier if I do it that way.
At any rate, I will hit the Nortons to-morrow with this pile.
A Looong pyramid on Richard's rattler! :D
Sorry but 'This' yank just had to post this. No harm intended.Quote:

You gotta think with the plethora of strop treatments available back then, most just pasted the strop and shaved.
Best as could be done for some?
The bevel got more and more rounded. Spine got some wear as well.
Now here we are trying to find the edge whilst going through real estate.
At least WE have tape! :D
Larga vida la cinta
I just KNEW you were a pasted-strop man, Hirlau! :rofl2:Quote:

Nice efforts Tom. I noticed on that spike as well, an inordinate amount of effort to bring the edge back all the way along. Was on the green chosera as well. Changed the strong tape, a few times over an hr to finally be happy I could move on. Can see it had stone wear on the spine, but rounded damage from a strop I never really considered. But back in the day, no tape, less options to find stones etc, they did whatever they needed to do to stay sharp..
Never have, Never will. :shrug:Quote:

Set it on a stone and swipe it a bit.
Look at it! Crazy!
Makes no sense to think otherwise?
Was a joke, son! A Joke!Quote:
