    Default Fili 13 rescale in abalone pearl .

    Just finished pinning Luis' Fili. It will head back to da Bronx post shave test.

    Scales are acrylic & could not for the life of me capture the true colour except for the last pic.

    Wedge is marbled blue acrylic. Brass thrust washers & stacked stainless washers + NiAg pins.

    The thrust washers made the original 3 pin design unnecessary so we went with the simpler lines of 2 pins.

    As always, amazing job. Can't wait to get it back and shave. Scales look great. Thanks Oz.

    Those abalone acrylics are really hard to take a pic of, but in hand look awesome.

    Zoweey! If only I could intercept the mail and run off to remote Alaska with that beauty. (When will the law be passed that you can legally marry inanimate objects?)
