Bismark #1 Germany 11/16th+ Full Hollow It started out with rust all over, but it was the fine powdery rust. I'm ok with that. The main issue was the broken scales. Lucky for me, I have a lot of junk razors that were itching to donate their scales. Before Next Step: I found some Bone Scales that will match fine. I spent a lot of time hand sanding the rust, and fine pitting. I took care, not to sand away the blade etching. I did have to re-blue the tang and spine. The scales will need to be sanded, and polished, then fitted to the blade.
Thanks. I enjoy restoration work, more than honing. I just wish I had the restoration equipment that @gssixgun has. The work would be much faster, and I could tackle harder jobs.
