Thread: Marshes & Shepherd / Ivory Restore to Original

'Just painful, its so beautiful. So clean. Dang, you hit a grand slam here.

It seems a highly valid workshop thread, for I approve very much of those little metal collars, and the fear of collarless or washerless riveting is a ise caution. There is a big difference in crackability between new ivory and old.

In fact there could be a lot to be said for making the collars integral with the large internal friction washers, and epoxy them to the scales.

Yes, the restoration is beautiful, and this is a razor that begged for it to be done. You could practically hear it whispering "I deserve it. My etching will stand it."

Unreal work. Absolutely stunning lines on that blade. I'm in awe.

Thanks for sharing.
