Those are some awesome looking razors. Impressive work. Is there a trick/tool for keeping the washers intact when removing the bent pin head?
Glen / Dan .. totally outstanding work what i'd give for one of those little doozies ......
It's probably just me .. but having a reaper on black (dark ) scales really really floats my boat
moving swiftly on from the ducks .. wheres the Genco's :-)
totally awesome work , it's always great to be teased by true craftsmen
Garry :tu
Those are both beautiful razors. Nice contrast of the light and the dark scales. Just a point of curiosity, how common were the grim reaper series of ducks?
love those inlays, are those sort of things something that can be bought?
Also where do the pins/washers come from.
In UK seems to be a limited supply
Fairly rare to find at all, for every 20-25 Wonderedges that appear on E-bay you see maybe 1 Reaper and most are not in very good shape... In the last 2 years I have only seen 2 in what I would call good/exellent condition and 1 of those is the one I posted that is my personal razor....
Dan and I removed those from two different "Reapers" that had trashed scales....
I make my own pins and I get washers from Micro-fasteners.com
They are made from 1/16 inch Brass rod and #0 Brass washers
I think Dan does the same but I'll let him answer for his method....
Dan & Glen, wow! Great job on these :tu I can appreciate the work you put into those two restores. I kinda like the black scales for contrast but yellowheart is one of my favorite woods.... Decisions, decisions :)
I found that putting the finish down first helps... in fact, I put down several coats before I installed the bolsters HERE, then several more coats afterward...
Again... you guys do beautiful work :nj
