That Manaslu was in decent shape but needed some love to really shine and come on its own.
The blade cleaned up great with only a few spots left on it. The original scales were shot so I made new ones from acrylics with amber acrylic wedge. I contoured the scales a lot to make the swirls in the acrylic pop as much as possible, and that definitely produced a good 3D effect. The hardware is my favorite combo of brass pins with stainless washers.
The razor took a smooth edge that was pleasure to shave with.
