My only concern with using Paua was that it would be flaky...........so, I'm curious about this as well.....

Beautiful Alex !!!!!!!

Now that is a truly "Bling Bling" Razor

Wow these are great! Is there any chance of any more of these getting made? Maybe a set for me????

He wanted Paua scales and I wanted to do 'em! Pictures speak for themselves. Tapered Carbon Fiber spacer. My design choice. This thing is gorgeous in person! I added some pics to try to show the amazing color. You really need to see it up close to see the subtle shell patterning and all. As always, comments and constructive criticism are welcome! Enjoy!

I don't always like the scalloping in the scales that you've crafted -- it is certainly a signature design feature of yours. However, I have to agree with everyone else that this design is dead on. The scale material and shape really work with the blade's shape and polish.
