Thread: The Butchered Blade

Yeah, pretty sure too.
Took a bit of scotch pad to the one side, stain came off.
And sanding dust is not plastic.

Mike, you might have to do what you seem to do well & make some scales for it unless you can find a razor with good scales but a junk blade.
I restored a Reynolds like Leatherstockings has that came out really nice.
Here it is:

Stuck it neats foot oil.
Curious to what happens.
Cant hurt.....

I saved a set once. I cleaned them with scotchbrite and starter fluid. After they sat for a day I filled all the cracks and delimitation with thin CA. It sucked it in like crazy, and after two coats I sanded them a little and then a neats foot oil bath. Polished them up and they are just fine. They still look a little funny. If I can find them I will add a picture later. Starter fluid dissolves all manners of gunk and them evaporates like it was never there. Better than MEK as far as I can see.

Nope, can't hurt. We'll see how that goes brother. Like I said, that's one thing I haven't tried. I just realized I typed this earlier but didn't send it until Rezdog posted above.

Down here starter fluid is Ether and may not be good for anyone's health, used indoors.

Neither is leaving a can of opened denatured alcohol in your shed/shop/man cave, with the doors shut. [emoji57]

Yank it out and wash it good, outback! Epoxy first, oil last!

I've been busy reading this article I came across which Tom knows about:

It is here too my friend. You are correct and it does need to be used outside, preferably with a gentle breeze and a respirator. It will kill brain cells at an amazing rate. Works well but needs to be used with some serious precautions.
