8/8 Alien razor in kirinite lava flow scales, glow in the dark wedge
I made this alien design razor which was inspired by a couple of designs I saw for making modifications to one of my existing designs. With an alien design, I figured the scales would need to be a bit special as well, so I picked black lava flow kirinite for the scales, and used glow in the dark material for making the spacer wedge. I feel that I could have done a bit more with the scale design, but it is easy to overdo these kinds of things, so I decided to keep it simple. It's the first time I worked with kirinite so I had a learning curve.
Til shade is gone, til water is gone, Into the shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath.

Nice! Ever noticed how your maker's stamp has an alien-markings kind of look?

I've been looking into etching, because it would make things easier in terms of freedom to remove metal after heat treatment. But somehow, the way it looks when I've chiseled it in by hand before heat treatment appeals to me. Before HT, the chiseled mark looks rough and very vague. After heat treatment, it almost jumps out of the blade, and it is really clear and distinct, as if the blade has come to life.

Personally, I hate etchings. I prefer a clean blade (no decorations) and love the look of a stamped mark. Originally Posted by Bruno

Great looking razor there Bruno. Scales are simple but still look great with the razor. Hell of a job sir.

The waterbucket that is placed right below the contact area of my belt sander is now glowing in the dark with a glowing crust on the water
