Thread: 8/8 Henckels Friodur diamond scallop back in Lacewood

I pinned my last Friodur tonight. The photos are poor, that darn kitchen light. I sanded the blade to get out most of the factory mill marks and took the blade to the buffing wheel to give it a near mirror shine. I mounted it in Lacewood scales with a high gloss epoxy resin finish. I pinned the blade with 1/16 brass rod with stainless washers with a brass washer over it for accent. I had to add a 3’rd pin and stainless spacer due to the width of the blade (these are big, wide, heavy blades). I used a matching Lacewood wedge. I think it turned out pretty good. I just need some daylight to get a decent photo.

Edit, See good photos further down the thread. :^)

Wow! Outstanding Dave.

That's a sweet looking razor. Great job!

Awesome job!

I'm not one to give very many compliments, but that is one
nice razor. Good luck with it........
BTW, Is Lacewood very difficult to work with?

Those blades shave super. I have someone that has expressed interist in purchasing it. If that does not pan out it will be going into the BST. I just enjoy making them.

Lacewood, it is not to difficult to work. It is pretty fibrous and will splinter. I don’t think it would be usable as turning stock.

I hope I'm the interested one you refered to cuz I asked about it earlier. If so please PM me. If not, I'm jealous- nice work!

Oh

My

Goodness

that is one sexy razor!

I think I just fell in love... again!

Is there anything more breathtaking than a new polished razor in the morning sunlight? Maybe a sunset over the Rockies.
