I thought since the blade was not chipped it should be quite easily restored although it is very rusty. Also the rust was not layered so I was hoping it was only surface rust. It turned out there was some pitting which is bad because on a razor there is not much steel to grind down to get rid of the pits. Luckily I managed to get rid of them. After removing the pits I polished the knife up to 2000 grits and then continued with metal polish compounds. I replaced the dull plastic handle with custom ash handle of my own design. I made it out of a single piece of wood because I feel it looks butter that way. I cut a small piece of wood out of undried wood and dried it in a microwave with a couple of short runs until I was sure it was dry. This is important so that the handle keeps it’s shape after the razor is finished. I then drilled the hole for the pin as it wouldn’t be possible after the next step. I then cut a large enough wedge tot the wood to fit the blade on my razor to act as a sheath, like a regular handle. I shaped the handle to my liking and make a pin out of brass plated steel nail. I hammered the ends of the pin to make it sit in there tightly. Thanks for watching. Please subscribe, like, comment and share as that helps me to create more content in the future.
