    Just finished this razor made from wire rope with a carbon steel edge.

    I love the dark/light contrast between the wire rope and the carbon steel.

    The scales are a surprising departure from your usual micarta....love 'em!

    Looks good Victor! Great looking scales, really matches the pattern in the cable part of the blade.

    Love it! Really nice!!. I really like the wire rope angle, reminds me of how they used to make black powder shotguns. Awesome contrast with the edge and the pattern on the scales - really compliments the blade. Nice!!!
