Thread: The Butchered Blade

Stacked washers are fairly common. Keeps them from deforming as pinned. Brass stacks on old Sheffields, silver on German razors.

I even have an old carved bone razor which has triple stacks. Saved all 12 of them as I reassembled it.

I constantly am finding one which fits good under another.

Absolutely Mike. I do not have enough gilded stuff in my house to use all this solution on.
So the offer is open!
They have solutions for brass, copper, and chrome as well so I will probably expand the kit to cover other metals over time as well.

Cheers gents.

Found some replacement wheels for my lad so after this weekend I should be able to return to my regularly scheduled hobbies..

Same here Tom. Drill it off.. and theres two in your hand......BONUS!

Spent the morning setting up shop in the house, down stairs.
Saws n such will stay where they were, I aint unbolting them from the table.
So I'm ready to start fixin up some razzerz..

Next on the cutting board.
Finishing a 3/4" SATINA, that was gifted to me by WW243. Thanks Bill.!!

Just a bit more sanding to be done, will polish all but both sides of the blade, those I'll try for a satin or low luster finish, for name sake. Then see what to do for shoes.

So get at it gents !!

Or am I the only one makin noise anymore.

Off for some yard work, before I get started on this razor.

you are a heavy production guy Mike. Makes me feel a little lax in my restorations.

I know this doesn't belong here, but I like this little corner.
Here is a mystery razor I just snatched out of the clouds....My hopes are up...
I think of it as NOS with rust....but wonder what the hell it actually is.
Tang stamp: Harley Old Haymarket Liverpool
Steve is kindly helping me with research...I have two sources of my own and Steve kicked in 5 more....off and running. In hand on Tuesday. I'll have to sand the tail so I'm sort of justifying the post

Shiver me timbers....that is one awesome looking razor - I would have grabbed that faster than a fat kid on a Smarty, or Bill Clinton on an intern for that matter!

And yes, looks untouched - I've found a few like that...looks like it could have been sitting in a box for 100+ years.

Nice!

Yeah, Bill sent me a pm & I looked up some info on it since I have a Harley blade (one of three) that Jamie sent me awhile back for helping him on the duck hunt. That is a different one & I love it Bill. Wow, a frame back on top of that!!!!! I hope you got it for a steal!

@yotebuster1200, that might be it but I was thinking I saw a more recent one like outback mentioned. Thanks, I saved it!

As I was digging around for my Harley blade I found a Wosty I-XL that needs surgery! It has a crack about 7/16" from the toe & a chip at the heel which isn't a problem at all. It should make a great shorty!!!!







I'm sure if I dig around more, I'll find more.
