    Default Manaslu custom restore.

    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.

    I rarely take before pics because I just forget to most of the time.

    Great restore Stefan. I really like the way you did the scales. It all came together perfectly balanced.
