The Straight Razor Acquisition Thread

Some flea market gold in today mail-call. Actually green and gold. A picker friend scored these over the weekend, texted me a picture, and got them in the mail. A Puma Gold and a Otto Deutsch “HANS”, both in wonderful, like new condition. The Puma is a looker, deep butterscotch scales and still sporting the logo etch on the blade. The Hans has no signs of being sick, the dark emerald scales are perfect. Always wanted a clean O.D.H. and the Puma will have a nice life in the cat house with lots of company.

 

Great acquisition. Puma is on my wish list.

Be careful with that Puma. The scales are cracked at the pivot end. If it was mine, I wouldn't try to tighten the blade in the scales, or test it too much, until I found a way to stabilize the cracks. Perhaps clean the scales really well, with soapy water, and a soapy water soak, to get all the oils out of that area. Rinse well, let dry, and add a little CyanoAcetate, not the thick stuff, to the cracked area. Hopefully it will creep into the cracks. Then let it cure several days. It might be enough to strengthen it some.

 

Thank you very much for the words of caution. I did see it and I think it is a internal fault. May have been dropped over the years but never broke thru. I can see it but not feel it and the blade is very tight at the pin. When I put it to use, it will be babied so as not to make it worse.

 

Excellent find

 

I wanted to share this new acquisition,
Dorko 8/8 NOS
It came with original packaging, the deal was too good to pass up. I acquired a Dorko 7/8 NOS a few weeks back and I think I am going to use it tonight .
