Thread: The Butchered Blade

Can some one give me a link for buying Brass Collars please. I used my last one today and only have stainless steel left.

I purchased my pinning rods from USA 1/16 but they didn't have washers.

All I can seem to find in the UK is 1.5mm but not 1/16

I don't think the links on this site are up to much and I cant find them now..

Thanks

How many you need?

Great source.

I want normal collars ,washers . I don't like bullseye collars personally.

You had me all exited for a moment then

I think he carries all kinds now. Check his "other items" from his eBay link. He's on here sometimes as well. Tom will chime in I'm sure as he has tried a few of his already. I've just used his bulls eyes so far.
Those big ones in my hand will be wedges when I'm done with em.

Here is a picture of one of Austin's small collars installed. Make sure you back them up with a small steel washer. I think he now supplies them with the collars but initially he did not. Without the steel washer the brass will crush and you'll have a devil of a time trying to get the blade pivot tight.

looks very nice but at this point in my career I favour normal size washers with a proud pin.

I wouldn't say no to packets of every types available though.

You can never have enough bits n bobs

Beautiful Elliot Karl.

Nearly finished my latest project. It has to be honed but I have a head ache so I'll wait a few days. I have until Sunday when I shave with it.

This one has a tapered spine which I think looks very nice. Its also easier to keep all the lines in tact when its sectioned off like that.

There was a little chunk missing due to rust, top left of the stamp, you cant tell now.

I went with horn. I don't think I'll use horn again. The smell, the work, 8mm down to 3mm by hand . The fact that it warps and curls up from friction heat as well.

Sanded from 240-3k finished with a touch of beeswax which brought it all to life.

Not sure on the shape of the scales but I'm experimenting. The wedge is aluminium with brass lining. It was a fail because the lining came away from the wedge even with super epoxy. I cant be bothered to correct that at the moment because I really like the pinning I did.

Brass pins n washers n collars , this time I cut the pins quite long to have them proud, it took a good while to peen them fully.

Lovely job sir!
I like the flow of the scales and the shading across the A side. Cool shape.
Well done mate

Great restore and scales.
Love the pattering on the scales.
