Thread: Easy Scale Fitting... Tip from the Bench

I've got a couple of razors that are past the point of no return, so I guess I could just grind the edge straight into a diamond stone and dull it really well, and then use that in place of the wood.

Kind of like in self defense classes when using a dummy knife... it's shaped like a knife, looks like a knife, it's just not sharp like a knife....

That's an excellent idea. I have a number of junker razors in my collection and several have huge chunks out of the blade. I think I'll take one and cut off most of the blade part and just use the blade handle and spine for the jig.

As usual, Glen, you are a gentleman and a scholar!

Your generosity with your knowledge is quickly becoming one of your hallmarks!

Nicely done - I'll definitely be putting this to good use soon.

DITTO, Glen! Thanks a lot!

I was reading thru this and thinking that this was posted once before & I have a couple of wooden tangs in the shop...has Glen lost it...then noticed the date of the OP.

I still use mine & still a heck of an idea.
