Thread: Looking to get a blade & scale restore or maybe even new scales

Thanks doughboy and Chevhead, I'm now glad I didn't throw the blade out the window. I'm determined to find someone capable of helping me return this blade to it's glory and craft some sweet new scaled

It looks like it would be a good candidate for a restore to me.

Yeah, although they didn't say it was impossible they didn't seem confident. I've definitely seen restores on here that look brand new and the before pictures looked to be in much worse condition than mine so I was quite confused at the response.

It looks like a pretty good candidate for a restoration. Most of the attack on the metal seems to have occurred away from the edge, leaving just the meaty bits to play with. I've seen some like this go from a wedge to more of a slight hollow grind just due to the depth of corrosion, but you won't really know how bad it is until you start.

Its not a lost cause, they just didn't want to work that hard on a razor would be my guess. I like em ugly, more work but its so much more pleasing to me when I know I saved a piece of history from the graveyard.

Boy, I'm going to have to disagree with what everyone's saying. If I were you, I'd just pack that thing up, and throw it in the garbage...or I suppose you could send it to me. I'd be HAPPY to pm you my address...

Contact the guys gssixgun suggested and get that baby back on the line! Or again, for a nominal fee I will "dispose" of it for you.

You were curious about the grind, hope this helps, dug it up on google.
