Nowill Restoration

[Mike H]

My first serious restore... Critiques / advice welcome

Before

0.062 White G10, mirror finish, terrible photos
This one turned out ok, but I have a lot to learn.

The pitting was deep and I left quite a bit of it. Mediocre pinning and adequate scales.

Made by Thomas Nowill (1747-1825) and manufactured between 1804 and 1816.

Good job!! How does it shave?

Cool - I like the simple style, matches the blade well.
