Some Iroko

One scale down one to go. Having to loose a lot of wood to get it down so taking a while. The done one is a bit thinner than I was initially aiming but it is going onto a backing so will end up around the same with as the originals.

That's a lot of sanding..!!
Looks like you could split that into two.

Once you subtract the kerf there will not be room for three. It looks like two should be easy though. Really thin material can always be back with a liner of G-10 or aluminum or brass...

These two appear to be distant cousins. I thought I might pair them off in that Iroko.

One is slightly larger. I wonder if it would suit scales of the same size?

Oddly discovered one of those blades is magnetic.

Incidentally.

The top one is marked made in England ground in Hamburg on the other side as well as what appears to be a 0 (no idea what that signifies) and is more the shape seen with KROPP.

The bottom has absolutely no other markings than the KROPP logo and isnt a roundpoint.

I can find no information for that razor.

Far from a razor, but had to let ya guys in on this product.
Some of you know I work in the marine industry, well I was put in charge of detailing a used boat for an upcoming boat show. The metal fixtures are all covered in corrosion and rust, and the boss wants it like new.
So I tried this stuff. 3M metal restorer & polish.
Stuff is "AMAZING"!!
A small amount on a rag, rubbed by hand, polish with clean rag. Works about that fast too. Gotta try this on a blade.

Had a little while tonight, so got this out of the to do box. I sanded up to 12k and decided I was happy enough. Really just wanted to remove the rust and tarnish.

The scales don't look that brown in person lol but could proobably do with a little more polish.

Oh also, they have been etched. I managed to keep it.

A bit before

Bit of uneven honeware. Gonna be a task to hone 😬
