Restorations galore

[mainaman]

First, two blades that got a full vintage restore.
I cleaned up the blades on the buffer, repolished the scales, and repinned with nickel silver pins and stainless washers. The blades are Japanese Kikuboshi #3300 hollow ground, and H. Diamond #120 wedge.




Second, another set of two Japanese blades with custom scales as the originals were shot.

Koshaku #333 rescaled in black smoke acrylic with brass pins and washers. This one is the first Japanese razor with such intricate etch pattern on the blade. I did not completely remove all the pitting on the front size to preserve the etch as much a possible.

The other blade is H. Diamond #77 rescaled in bone linen micarta, with brass hardware.

Whooo,, thats a nice resto, im a real sucker for those amber-swirl scales. I have a question though, whats bone-linen micarta? Is it sheeets of bone laminated with linen? Sounds tricky..

It is linen micarta that I guess resembles bone in color thus the name.
