Thread: Modding / Restoration WIP

I recommend to learn how to remove scales without damage and do no mods to blades as going down this knife-handled road.
Surely someday you may see that those who made these razors knew what they were doing.
Being able to go back is a blessing more often than not. Changing your mind without the parts to begin anew can be a challenge.

The articulation of the scales in relation to the tang angle made/make for a multi-faceted tool for a job requiring it.
Nice to have scales for use instead of just cracking them off.

Much the same experience might be had in the honing dept. by going with common synthetics first and learning on something consistent instead of the wild variations of found, odd, natural and non razor hones. No advise can be more certain than on common synthetics.
Adversely, no advise could be more sketchy than that on unknown individual naturals and stones not intended for razors..
