Dubl Duck SatinBaby Restore

A vintage restore on a Dubl Duck "SatinBaby" this one was all done by hand, there was no way I was risking this razor, or the scales, to a Dremel or a buffer, I have been hunting for one, way to long.....

Yeah I know the pics suck, but I'll get some better ones in the SOTD as soon as I get this little duckling honed up...

Note the spine wear in the before pics.... You actually can make it go bye bye, but it is a lot of work....

Aww, she's so cute, Glen. Very nice work. What's the blade size in relation to a DD Dwarf?

Chris L

OK I measured my 2 Dwarfs for total edge length from the first shoulder cut to the toe (the long shoulder) all three are Spikes BTW

Pearlduck Dwarf = 2 3/4 in. exact
Bresnick Dwarf = 2 9/16 in. exact
SatinBaby = 2 11/16 in. exact

And measured from tail to end of scales closed

OAL Pearduck Dwarf = 6 in.
OAL Bresnick Dwarf = 5 7/8 in.
OAL Satin Baby = 5 3/4 in.

So cool Glen! I want one!

Would you take a picture with something to give it scale? I can't really get a good idea the size.

Nice one Glen. The 'Duck' museum must be near complete. :D

Here ya go Bjorn I took some pics tonight after I honed these 2

Fantastic:
I have been looking for a Dwarf with absolutly no luck. Now I want a Satin Baby, which I did not know they made. So I am twice out of luck when it comes to ducks.

I enjoy reading you post.

Thanks bud!!

Mmmmm! nice razor... looks mint...
Did you use the "warped stone" method to remove the hone were?... I didn't know it was dangerous..

As always... a great restore:nj

Great job, Glen! Removing hone wear! Now that's a trick!

As expected from a DD edge, a nice smooth shave.. I really liked the small size for touch ups on the neck on either side of the adam's apple
