They look quite nice. To make a pair is twice as nice. Hat's off to your patience and skill!

With his shear will and true grit. Nothing more and nothing less.

This was the first attempt for carved scales (Dec 2014). I used dremel, dental drills, abrasive stones. I attempted an inlay that failed.
It help me understand the carving got to be done with the engraver (hand, pneumatic whatever) and very little rotary.
After a few months I gave a go to the set above. The difference between hand and rotary carving it's obvious. The set is kept in a modified pencil box
A different design was attempted but failed (I transfered the drawing on the bone blank with carbon paper only without redefining it with a pencil as I did for the pair and this resulted in discrepancies between scales, very difficult to correct). I fitted that worn out blade you saw in the SOTD.
I liked the design though so I did a go for another set. It didn't cross my mind to take pictures during the process
A picture with the razor that turn out the best so far
