    Beautiful razor, I am really liking the blade-tang-grip area. Great design and craftsmanship.

    That is gorgeous Bruno.
    The scales made me immediately think of red smoke.

    thanks Charlie. Aside from the hollow grinding, that is the part I spent most of the time on. The jimps were made with a square file, rather than a triangular file. This makes the opening between them wider. And after HT I used greasless 80 grit polishing compound to clean the scale from in between the scales. This also rounded the edges of the jimps, resulting in the jimps you see.

    That is a perfect combination of steel meets scales and the scale pattern just ties it together perfectly. Very well done!
