green lizard fans Don't Look
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.

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!

I can't believe you got any type of salvage out of that! Well done. Hope it's worth the effort!

Thanked: 105 up date on the lizard
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
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).
