ali's blade wedge kamisori 8/8 rescaled??? wuh??? juma golden dragon
So i bought this 8/8 kamisori ali's blade from another forum member for a song and it's beautiful... only problem? I hate kamisori razors I feel like they need scales..
Well after three carbide tipped drill bits chewed up and repinning this razor 3 times i finally did it...
ps. I HATE working with juma golden dragon... it's very flexible when thin and when pinning the washers dig into the material rather than get tighter..

the scale material matches the blade great I think
job well done
Yeah I felt bad doing it but I like it much better now... I mocked it up and tried it and tried it alone... Ended up liking the mock up better ... Felt better in my hand and shaved better... So I went for it
It changed the center of balance to where I hold the razor naturally which was behind the circle...
Also makes for a truely unique looking razor and lastly I love folding kamisori's...
The razor itself kinda had a medieval look to it so the scales I chose kinda had a medieval theme to it... It was either that or distressed scales like Lewis customs have
I may email Cedric begging for forgiveness ;-)
