Here you go JL.
Sorry about the crap pics, my camera leaves something to be desired. When you move them you get golden fleck highlights, but of course you can't see that...yet.
btw The mark on the heel of the blade is not a mark so don't worry.
John's razor turned up today, I'll start scale making this weekend for it.

very nice looking!
gary, did you do blade cleaning or was it already clean when you recieved it?
ps. anyone have suggestions how to get into the little small indents in the stamping to clean it? it seems to be the one area i can't really clean out the black gunk from :(
Nice work Gary!
For cleaning indents, I've used toothbrushes, q-tips and toothpicks. A needle might work well too.

Gary,
Quick question....is that puppy shave ready, or close enough to shave ready that I can use a pasted strop to finish it off...or do I have to call Lynn?
I get really jazzed when I see the progress you guys make in your restoration efforts. Keep up the good work, Gary.
especially when I get to shave with the finished product...its mine...all mine....<insert evil laugh here> :pQuote:

JScott, The blade is NOS, I haven't touched it, it's never been shaved with.
Bill, Thanks, I'm proud of these scales, I just wish you could see the golden flecks that jump out when it moves in the light.
Cheers
Gary
I'll post a video when I get it.Quote:

Not yet, Gary, but I'm looking forward to it - I've never used a stainless or a 7/8 so it should be interesting (as well as the chance to admire your handiwork as well, of course.)
Awesome Looks great !
That's a pimp piece, Gary. You do good work. :D
Thanks Joe, coming from someone who ain't bad at making scales either is darn cool.

I have a special case for all my 8/8 henckels that is padded and dehumidified...I will take extra special good care of it...Quote:

Joe,
I just have to say I hope that your avatar isn't a relative. That guy is scary looking. Go back to the grim reaper...:eek:
