I'm starting to think you know what your talking about Glen:rofl2:
but seroiusly, I've never really thought it through to that extent but after doing a few creative designs, what you just said is spot on.

Thanks for the very insightful comment Glen, I'm gonna change the design of the scales a little bit with the new information and post them here when I do so.
cool project.
I have the autosol too and while it works well, I started using a 'gamma' bar of green polishing compound (Cr2O3, chromium oxide) with my dremel, which makes for quicker polishing.
Please don't polish the 'pits' (die diepe gaten) because it will take you a very long time to get those away. You can get those away easily by some agressive removing of metal by sanding and slowly going through higher grits for removing the marks then, until it is polished again.
good luck on your project.
"Skydds Märke" is actually an American by origin, his real name is Skid Mark. lol
I'm working on this one
Thanks jojingo, now I'll have to find some one with a dremel :)
btw, very nice etching on the blade! Good luck with that one.
Holy Cow Jojingo, I hope that blade was alot closer to the camera than you were, otherwise it is HUGE!.
Ok see this Fritz Bracht Dovo I just happen to have a pic of this one balancing...

The tang and the end of the scales are the same height one smooth flowing line that makes it very easy to roll when stropping...
Same with this W&B

and then the custom acrylics that I made for it

Keep in mind there are no absolutes in Razordom but if you check most of your Vintage stuff you are going to find that most are made this way, and are rather easy to roll while stropping because of it...
