This was something I started a long time ago. I was going to make a razor with a Christian cross in the blade hollows, using stainless inserts to make the cross. During grinding, 2 of the inserts fell out, And I scrapped the project but didn't throw it away. Eventually I drilled out the remaining inserts, and filed out the shape of the cross.

The rest went like any other build. I decided to etch it black because a) buffing really isn't an option. The buffer would grab the sharp corners of the cut-out. and b) the cross would stand out more.

For the scales I chose blue glow in the dark kirinite. Not only because of the 'light in the darkness' angle, but also because blue is a beautiful color for this. The blue is a beautiful pale cobalt blue if it has been in bright light.
