Is this to be a set of blades or scales?

Verree funny!
Actually, all the blades and most of the scales are different by make, shape, and stripes.
However, all should be super-thin square-point-ish Solingen blades with an overall width of 13/16.
All shall have blued tangs, spines, and noses with silver rubNbuff in the tang stamps.
All shall be pinned with ajkeen's collars of nickel-silver.
See? There is actual criteria here!

3rd attempt at a restoration. We have for your viewing pleasure this evening a Wade & Butcher Medium Hollow that someone took a belt sander to. You can see the grind marks above and below the etching. All i did was clean it up with some Crox on a felt wheel, and then polish. The blade looks gnarly but the edge is very clean, still pretty sharp. This razor gave me a CA glue required cut the first time i cleaned it with soap and a toothbrush.
The wood is Wenge and i just rubbed it down with some Howards Feed & Wax. I fit an aluminum bushing, and pinned her up in aluminum as well.
Tomorrow the stones..

Yes, Tom, they are dizzy making to look at but I'm really dizzy with delight at the sight of them.

Flip 2, 4 and 5 over so the stripes are in the same direction.
Or the opposite.
