Latest project: Wilh. Mandt in Green G10

[Shaggy8675]

Ok, one of my first posts here, and it's a restoration. Hope you like it.


Specs:

Wilhelm Mandt Solingen
Best Quality SIlversteel 6/8

Reshaped the toe and removed top grip lines.

Scales are green G10
Pins Nickel/silver, Rivets outside SS, inside Brass.
Wedge was made from a piece of original scales. Think it is Bakelite but not 100% shure.


As I bought it




And finished razor ready for sharpening.












There remains some tiny pitting in the metal, but those stay in place as not to get the blade to thin or damage it.
Thanks for watching

Did you texture the G10, or did it come that way?


Looks great!

 

[Shaggy8675]

Yes, I textured the G10 myself

This is how it arrived as a sheet/plate, then shaped, and textured:

Cool, texturing turned out great. Did you use a dremel?

Something like that. I am a dental technician, so I use professional grade dremel like tools, with a lot more power, but basic the same idea yes.

I have a friend that works for Patterson, I need to talk to him.

Funny, I was having a root canal at the dentist last week and was thinking hmm, this smells just like when I carve bone-scales, they must have some nice tools I could use...


Nice job on the scales, very well executed.

I'm using this one Kavo K-Powergrip:


Superb piece of equipment. But not so affordable for most I'm afraid ( $2000+ )

Yep, bone and teeth have a distinct similar smell to them

The green makes the blade pop, love the texture too
