If this was any other blade I would not have even considered this. But since it was a Green Lizard I had to try. Still has a ways to go to be a shaver, but it still has some good steel in it.

Had to try. :gaah:
Tim :D
OOOOOH!!!! That one really hurts.....
Tim, I think you win the award for the greatest resto aspiration to date. I'm surprised you got it to look even half as good as it does. Here here!

Nice effort.
I cannot believe you got it looking that nice.
Note to self :
Next time Tim says don't look dont' freaking look.....:rolleyes:
Nice effort Tim !!!
Awsome.
Not sure what a green lizard is but I like it.
I can't believe you got any type of salvage out of that! Well done. Hope it's worth the effort!
Bad case of celluloid rot ?
Nice work in any case!
Made the scales from green translucent acrylic. Used a picture of gssixguns lizard, since I didn't have any scales left to go by. Micro fasteners are just for mock up. It will get regular pins when I finish the scales. Not perfect but it will make a good shaver.

Thanks
Tim :D
Never say never.
It looks like there is some deep pitting near the heel. Have you sharpened it yet (and looked at the edge under a microscope)?
Other than that your persistence might start a new fad (move over Ducks and Fillies).:)

Wow that is some amazing recovery work. What the hell were they doing with that thing? It was tore up!
I would say you did as good as anyone could have, with what you were starting from. Good job! You made it look A LOT better. :tu
Well done. That's pretty inspiring.
