Razors and Rocks

It has been a long time since I blindly bought some sharpening stones.  Over the last couple of weeks, I've done just that.  Happy to say, I came out smelling like a rose on most of the items.

Just goes to show it is ok to take chances sometimes. You just have to know that most of the time, you won't win.  Just hope you get something good out of it.

Double Arrow, Manhattan, Copper King and Classic

These 4 will be going back to their owner this week.
1) Manhattan Cutlery Co.
As you can see, there is still alot of "character" left on this blade...
After talking it over, we decided to recycled some old bone scales. Since the razor is a shorty (I assume cut down at some point) it gave plenty of room to reshape.
Silver pins, domed washers and aluminum spacer.







2) Double Arrow razor.
I only did the scales on this one.
Horn scales with silver pins and domed washers.






3 & 4)
The Copper King (A.Witt razor) and the "Classic"
I only did a clean up with both of these. Buffed blades with original scales and honed
