Had a little set back with my scales. Grabbed the 1/8 router bit when sculpting the edge.
Time for a do over. This horn blank material is 1/4" thick so this time I'm gonna try to slice it down to half to start.
See if I can keep my trusty pull saw straight."Depression is just anger,, without the enthusiasm."

I thought about using Vaporust but I have never used it and didn't want to risk some patina. Happily, the edge took very little work to expose clean steel.
Bill, I don't know if I've ever seen one from Amsterdam? Great score!!!!!

Steve, very little information on the Bastet...well known cutler but little on the razors...I was thinking of sending it to wolfpack for a pro restore when I thought the scales were new....Tom convinced me that they may not be, so I just did a little hand work...it is a pretty sweet razor all around and a lucky score...it really looks like crap in the before pic and a risk because of the rust/pitting. Only seen one other on the forum from a long time ago.

Mike, you're insane! Right on.
I just ordered a Japanese pull saw for the ivory tangs. Your precarious picture has given me hope.. lol“You must unlearn what you have learned.”

MikeB52 I got some rust stuff, supposed to be more natural (maybe less harsh ?) Similar to rust erase. Put a blade in it four 30min as directed and removed to scrub off rust and then repeated process 3 times for the heavy rust. I noticed a blueish etching created. Removed etching with 1000 grit.
Anyway it works fine, so does sand paper though.
BUT the label says that this "etching" is more resistant.. that this new surface resists rust for a significant amount longer than bare steel.
This lends to the possibility that if a blade has "devil spit" or "devils slobber" or any other marks left by devilish secretions (LMAO), that perhaps removing the rust, giving it a dip to create this "rust resistant" etching WITHIN the pits and cracks could perhaps keep them from further rusting.
I've read somewhere of etching blades to prevent rust but don't know what they used... ?

Yep, I agree. I wouldn't dare to chop a slice like this. Originally Posted by MikeT
