I have a pair of vintage Sheffield blades one pictured below.
At first i thought these seem to be red horn but was not sure so i put them away for the time being.
Recently I've been researching on how to dye black horn black. Reading an old post from Neil Miller RIP he talks about Silver Nitrate which is a method i am soon to try. He also speaks of Red Horn.
That triggered my memory of my 2 red scaled razors . I got them out and decided to restore one of them a James Barlow and sons smiling wedge.
I am sure these are horn they defiantly have the same make up as old horn....but im waiting for some one to say, "are u stupid"? haha
