Advice on ivory tang restoration and scale selection
Attachment 228666Attachment 228667Attachment 228668My current project is this old Boker with ivory tang. Pretty rough but I would love to make this work. I removed the scales it came with( nothing special and not original to the razor). The steel was rusted at the tang as you can see by the pitting. I want to make this a shaver. So...now do I paint the steel part of the tang, or use Ren wax? How do I keep it from rusting again? I would also love to find a way to restore the logo if anyone has any suggestions. That is the the hard part. Then what scales to put on it. I'm considering horn or ebony.
