Thread: liners for a Simmons Keen Kutter 1287 in Ivory with mother of pearl tang

So I got this project razor about 2 years ago for like 3 dollars IIRC. I was certain the scales were plastic because almost all examples had pins and no washers. This one has washers but the scales looked very thin. Too thin for plastic but they have washers I kept on thinking. So I got some more camel bone slabs to make another set. The new pieces of camel bone were way thicker than my first pieces and I wanted to make my new set very thin just like the old set. So I put it on the back burner until a couple a days ago they resurfaced after a little cleaning. Perfect covid project I thought! Right!
I was getting the dremel ready to unpin it when I thought. Better do a hot pin test to make sure. I do the test and Damn! They are Ivory! To me that changed all my plans . Now I want to make some brass liners and see if I can save the originals. I know it wont be perfect but I think I can live with the results. If I dont like the way they turn out I will make them out of camel bone just as I originaly planned.
