Thread: Joseph Rodgers & Son goes cocobolo

Cleaned this oldie up and she turned out to be a beauty. Hard to imagine sometimes that razors with way over a century worth of history can turn out pretty much like new.
Bocote scales with silver/brass washers with brass pin.
Nice subtle smiley edge and spine. Blade takes a really nice and sharp edge.
Healthy 1/8 hollow Joseph Rodgers & Son, Cutlers to their Majesties, N°6 Norfolk Street, Sheffield.

Enjoy.

Sure that's Cocobolo and not Bocote?

Good catch Alex! Thx for noticing.. With all the restores it's hard to keep up at times. lol...

I like the look of the lines on those scales Max, Very clean work !!!!!
The wood in those pics looks almost more like Bocote' rather than Cocobolo, was it a super light colored piece???? I like the look, I just, have never got one that light colored....

Hehe Alex and I both, thinking the same I see

Excellent job!

Another beautiful project Max!!!!!! I'm sure it's getting harder not to notice your fine work.

Looks good Max. The Bocote almost looks textured like deer antler.

That's pretty sweet, Max. Nicely done indeed.

Those look great. You had a really nice piece of wood to use for scales. They compliment the blade nicely! Congrats!
