    Cool Lotus - Balanced out in G10

    Dutter - Paris

    6/8 Lotus Razor

    Really the steel was in great shape just some light polishing on the tang around the pivot hole then hand polishing with Blue Magic after that

    Balance was the objective of the rescale the previous wood scales were built very light and very small making the razor all "Blade"

    Scales are Natural G10 or "Jade Ghost" as it is known these are often quite heavy so I thinned them down to .095"
    The wedge is actually "Seamist" Acrylic that is .050" at the end you are looking at..
    Nickel Silver pins using dual reversing SS washers to lock it all together and Solid Brass inner bearing washers

    Nicely done package Glen. It's all about the overall balance between steel and scale and your mix is always perfect.
