A Swordfish Bill And A Finger Ring

This razor was rescaled a few years ago. Being the goon that I am, I dropped it and cracked the scales. I have been looking for a candidate for a swordfish bill that was rescued. The swordfish bill was a broken sword with a lot of real estate to work with. The razor is a Southern & Richardson with a finger ring. Needed a unique razor for a unique material. A fairly straightforward job using a recycled lead wedge. Brought the scales down to a thickness of .070 inch and sanded up to 500 grit. Buffed out on a wheel using a white stick. Fairly easy to work with but smelled like burnt hair when splitting in half on a tabletop jigsaw

 

nice job............

 

That's actually pretty cool!

 

Well done. Very interesting tail on that razor.

 

So unique!!! The finger ring is an amazing feature and I was surprised to see the transparency of the swordfish bill... that is a wonderful combination. Great work!

 

Great work. That’s impressive!

 

Thanks for the kind words.

I thought the same when I saw the pictures. It is the light reflecting playing games off the polished surface

 

Nice!
