    So just got done hand sanding for 5 days, making scales, applying in-lays, pinning and honing.

    It looks like this:

    My son asks to borrow a razor to shave today and I say "here is one I JUST finished...give this a try."

    He come back 30 seconds later and says "Uh...Houston we have a problem, I dropped it in the sink and chipped it."

    Here is his definition of a "CHIP";

    Will you be able to do anything with the razor.....love the scales.

    Oh man! Ouch.
    That is a beautiful blade and scales. So sad.
    Well the scales look so nice maybe search for another blade and take that shorty blade and make custom scales..
    Was he upset about breaking it? Maybe he will help make scales and prep another blade for those sweet Satinedge scales you have there..?

    Wow,, I couldn't 'like' the post even though I appreciate you sharing your story Chev.
    I'm just impressed your lad asked to borrow a straight.
