    I really like the look of the aluminum wedge with the red.. Reminds me of the lines on a classic old car.

    Very nice!!

    What I like particularly about your work that I've seen so far is that they look like straight razors. Not like some sort of weapon from a Star Wars movie. Very nice workmanship and time tested design.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
