Greetings everyone,

Here are some photos of the most unusual razor I have made to date.

A customer asked for a straight razor with a handle shaped like a Colt 911. I had no idea how I was going to accomplish that, but I said I would make an attempt. I eventually decided that I would model my handle scales on an AMT Hardballer Long slide. (I needed the extra slide length to enclose the razor blade.) I downloaded and cut out a photo of the AMT, then attached it to some black G10 using rubber cement. I then cut out and shaped the two handle scales. Next, I used a scribe to trace the lines of the pistol onto the G10. I initially considered trying to carve the scales more deeply but, when the customer said she liked the scales as is, I took the easy road.

Hopefully, Dave liked the razor.
