    Very classy! Eversomuch better than those recycled Spanish detergent bottle Filly scales!

    Thanks - the thing about Filly scales is that they have inbuilt bearers on the inside pivot - this is to accomodate the tang which tapers at the monkey tail and would rub on the insides without them. So, despite using brass internal washers, I had to taper the wedge so that I created a bow that accepts the tang without catching.

    Those scales look super clean. I love the copper accent with the two tone color scheme. You nailed it brother!

    I really like the contrast the copper provides. Well done.

    That is a work of genius. That comes together to look pretty sweet. Sorry about the missing razor. Somebody isn't going to be happy.

    I love the way the red on black pops. Can't believe I just said pops. Anyway, that is a classy razor, sir.
