Why what's it doing...?
Is it off now?

Seems I read where Glen oversizes holes in scales to 5/64ths for just this reason/purpose.
I would think it would certainly be handy for wood scales. Those can be unforgiving.
A few more tricks, test fit your stuff with microfasteners. Use some tweezers to tighten the nut 'til it slips. See what you have. Take note!
This one looks pretty straight. HOWEVER, if you want one to pull right or left during peening, Taking that very 1/16 bit and squeeze the scales together spinning it into the direction you want to go. Test fit again! I often use a half clothespin to shove a blade over as I peen the top or bottom.
In fact, most of the time I have to begin with 'leveling' out the wobble at the top, esp if the bottom is tight.
Here!



Yes, that IS a silver-steel Genco!

YES! It IS!

Thanks again for the compliments guys. It really means alot.

I was gonna use tape when i hone it up and im waiting till i have some time. Sunday afternoons are usually me time, if i can get the GF off my back.

There is some rustiness slightly close to the edge as well so id like to set a nice thin bevel. Cant wait to friggin shave with this thing.

I plan to wear this hat while shaving with it.

Your welcome. Thanks for letting me know

Im gonna force myself NOT to hone this razor tonight because i will rush and that's a no no.. so hopefully tomorrow but i doubt it. The woman will swoop in and keep me occupied tomorrow night.. gun club work party has me on Saturday morning and Sunday im up a river.. literally.

Straight razor life.. the struggle is real.

Anyway here she is polished and pinned. Ill be flipping the Norton on this old girl ASAP.

A wee bit close to the side still but she fits in the slip. Getting it to clear the wedge and then the scales took some work but i got er done. Fitting these things back together is a science in itself.

Tonight i will dream of bevels.

Huge Huge Huge save. Wow well done.
After all that work, The Spine is pristine.
To tape or not to tape, Coming over the top onto the etch with tape scares me.
You have done so well with saving the etch I applaud any choice you make.
This is supposed to be fun, enjoy your work. I look at before and after pics. Amazing.

Har Har. Gotta click the damn thing off every f...in time too.
"DAMMIT".

We SO need to fix this! Propellerheads?

There's gotta be a way to turn it off completely. I'll google it.
