The satin/gloss combination on the scales is awesome. Great job.

great looking str8. i just picked up a W&B this weekend, and this post gives me some motivation on what my finished project could look like. i may query you later on the blueing. i really like that look. do you know if there are any issues with the blueing fading, or the chemicals effecting the skin? maybe if you don't, someone else may. i have seen a few razors with that look and hopefully some may know if there are long term issues.

I love what you did to the scales very contemporary.

I have not hear of anyone having issues though. Plus, if you are using the tang and spine to shave with, rather than the edge....you might have other issues to worry about!

i did not notice you only blued those parts. where is the colorization on the blade coming from? there are 3-4 colors coming through the pic. is this the lighting? Originally Posted by C utz

C,
Are you sure the blueing will wear? It's not like paint; it's actually the surface of the metal, right?
I have been able to remove blued steel with my Dremel, but I was under the impression that I'm removing steel to do it.
No answers, just questions.

Those colors on the blade face are from the light of the scanner. It's hard to not get those when the surface has a mirror finish....

As for the blueing coming off, no, it's not painted on. However, with time it will rub, much like the dremel is rubbing off the finish too....
