Thread: unknown blade

Some time ago I posted a help question seeking information on the manufacturer of a razor I picked up, no answer to be found, still looking but in the mean time I honed it up and found it gives me the best shaves so far. Comparing it with my Dovo and TH. It had some stains I just couldn't remove with out turning a very thin hollow grin into tissue, so I looked closer and it appeared that what I first took for black stains on the tail was actually Blued steel.

After removing the old blue from it I cold blued it again, after 3 cycles the result was my wife exclaiming, "oh my god that is beautiful.........where did you get it"?

Have some black and honey buffalo horn on the way for some inlayed scales (I hope)

Will post pictures!!

Looking forward to your pics.

Waiting on pins and needles :<0)

The blade to be scaled

I guess now you can clearly see the tang markings

Are the scales damaged ?....Maybe you can save them ?....They look very nice !!

The scales are in pretty good shape, there is a little slop in the pivot hole, resulting in the blade shifting slightly length wise to the scales but it stays centered in the scales which have a slight warp, but other wise very serviceable with careful use.

I am making good use of it currently, it is a fine shaver.
