Thread: What fix for this guy

I agree as well.

You could also do the following if it's really bugging you:
Put a 1/16" ID tube in there at 90 deg and use something like JBweld or exposy to fill in around it, then sand everything flush.

i agree in principle, but i wish i had picture with the original fit, i'll take another one of the scales where you can see them being sort of bent/warped.
the crooked pin was definitely putting a pressure on them.

don't remember if they were rubbing or not, but it's a wedgy grind so it probably wasn't drastic...

ok we'll see, i'll check the shank angling.

Great looking razor. Would still look good with a light patina.
Or you could consider just chemically blackening the tang. Won't fix the pits but would even out the color a little.
