Super nice work! Man, I gotta get me one of these BrunoBlades...

Beautiful work.
The razor really turned out very well.

I've got a Brunoblade in hand to do exactly the same thing. Can't wait to get started. Thanks for posting because I was also thinking doing something similar at the heel and also considering horn scales.
Very nice finish there. And very nice blade Bruno forged...

The first photo shows it as received then followed by polished.

As it was, I was in danger of having a very sharp point protruding below the scale. The scales are rams horn - I usually use buffalo horn but decided to try something different as I intended to leave the ridges - however that wasn't to be so I sanded both front and back.

Your work has proven inspirational. After some correspondence with Bruno, My custom blade is in the works and I couldn't be more excited

Any word yet on the shave quality?

I believe I have a Bruno Blade in the works. I anxiously await a payment request and shipping info........

Yes I know your anticipation, I have a custom blank on the order list now also to the same level so I can complete it, so the search for a scale design & materials in on in readiness.

Agreed! I've been experimenting with bone scales and horn spacers, think it's a great combination:
