Thread: 6/8 Revisor in Acrylic Scales

Thanks again for looking

Looks good to go. Woohoo.

Scales are a new twist on a very good old blade. Nice job.........

Had you not said "acrylic", I would swear that was a burl of some kind.

Awesome job on both blade and scales. I too would have thought the scales were a burl wood. Awesome!!

Hey Jerry, yes they are unique and that's what he wanted. I've made a couple sets of scales but splash has a talent that I lack. I find it hard enough to make a 'set' but I can't imagine what it would take to make another 'single' scale, especially when the scales aren't just 'flat'.

When I complimented him on how much I liked them and how the balance was perfect he told me about the wedge just being a partial 'wheel'. I'm really looking forward to once again having the privilege of using it and I'll be more careful in the future. This is a very special razor as I bought it directly from Revisor 3-4 years ago and having the scales made for me by splash is just frosting on the cake

Well I guess if it took almost 5 years to drop a razor that's not too bad but why it had to be this one I'll never know.

I thought the same thing. Very nice. The wedge is interesting. Reminds me of old watch cogs and wheels. I think I will have to do some experimenting now.
