    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?

    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.

    Default Little Ducks

    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.

    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
