Thread: Custom Bolsters

Can anybody manage this? I want to get a razor rescaled and have some snazzy bolsters to adorn it.

There was a post about a guy in Germany that does this.

In theory one could make custom bolsters quite easily with some thick foil, a steady hand and a small blade. I'd offer to give it a shot but I'm swamped.

Maybe ask a jeweler to do the metal work. They are used to working on such a small scale on a daily basis. Have someone else make the scales. I would love to have some cracked ice scales with my initials cut out or done enamel work.

ever since that tortoise pocket knife was posted I've been thinking bolsters too

laser cut thick brass foil
For inlay work you could even laser engrave a piece of wood/acrylic and then use some rub and buff gold leaf.

I think someone said that oldblades can do those.
