Thread: What are you working on?

I've been working on this one off & on. It has Ivory scales & they are old looking at how yellow they are & there is no makers name on it. I got it cheap though & I seem to like it. The Ivory cover for the tang is loose on the blade, you can turn the blade slightly back & forth inside it so I unpinned it to fix it. First John Doe in Ivory I've ever had.

Excellent find Steve

While we are blessed to have Thaeris here, I think these are the real deal as well.

Gifted to me by Geezer, they are smaller in size, roughly sanded and unused. One set is pinned at the bottom with wooden pin for shaping, I think.

What do you think?

They look like the real deal to me Tom.

Thanks Mike. I want to fix the covered tang, clean the blade up some & add a little more smile to it because it doesn't look like the edge matches the curve of the swayback on it. I think I'll take a little off the toe & at the heel on the edge. I'll use my digital calipers to keep the width consistent all the way across.

It looks so, yes

Nice scales to be ! And a nice gift !

Edit : Where did he got it ? It almost looks like a vintage draft from the Heljestrand factory.

Edit bis : if so, I think it would be more interesting to keep it as a curiosity than to mount it on a razor !

Good eye as Richard told me they had come from Sweden. I expect they were intended for a smaller frameback razor?

I have been entertaining shortening these Rodgers blades for them.



Oh well! A project for another day!

Thanks!

Perhaps a MK31 or 30 ? There were very short and small models.

I had a pair of MK29 in tortoise for a while. Their tortoise is truelly magnificent.

Looks great!

One of the most difficult things I have honed, perhaps. I hope it goes easy!

Beautiful job. Congrats........
