    Member's razor. My scale design. I reground the point slightly (was lopsided), left the rest of the razor alone. Looks better in person, blah, blah, blah. Comments/constructive criticism welcome!

    Very nicely done Alex! The point looks like it was never touched. Excellent finish and pinning. I hope to get into new materials when the weather warms up and CF will be one of them. Thanks for sharing.

    Very nice alex... great looking scales

    BTW: what thickness is the cf you made these from? It may be playing tricks on me, but this cf looks a bit thicker than the stuff you've been using recently

    Nice, especially the bulls-eye washers on the pinning...

    The scales are very subtly unique. Artsy as well. The pinning is pristine. That razor is a work of art sir.

    Is that middle notch functional to allow the thicker CF to flex more there or purely decorational?

    Quite stunning! I love look the new-tech CF gives to such a classic instrument. Very clean work.
