    Default W&B and Suredge restores.

    Those are going to Maksim next week.
    The W&B is near perfect condition with minimal hone wear. I tried my hand at satin finish using homemade scotch brite wheels and I think it came out pretty well. scales are black G-10, red acrylic wedge.

    Next up is a Suredge.
    Blade was in perfect condition no hone wear with a few small specks on it, that I did not remove completely because I wanted to keep the etch on the blade. I was not sure but I thought those hammered tang razors were with blued tangs, so I reblued this one.
    Scales are stabilized walnut, with wipe on poly finish.

    They both look great. My Suredge has a blued hammered tang. I love the W&B. You did a super job.
