That's really very nice! Any possibility of a photo of the pin? Got one to do soon & i think it might help me.
Thanks.

Very very nice. The whole thing fits together nicely.
I think I like the smoked PC more than the clear.

Thanks all!
Ben, both pins look as the rear pin, shown on the last photo. Exactly what do you wonder??
BTW, the pinning is quite simple, I made the holes for the pins conical, about 30 degres i think and about 1,5 mm deep, then pinned quite hard until the brass filled the hole completely, filed flush with scales, polished. Voila'!

Hi,
Thanks. They just look so clean, & i couldn't see that clearly. Nice job. Got to get my ebony scales made but that method would probably split them! Pinning's the part i'm not looking forward to.

Great looking razor. Love the smoked PC. Reminiscent of some DD's
Are they your grind marks ? Nice even finish. Buff??, Dremel ?? Belt sander ??The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.

Those are some fine looking scales. I really like your pinning job.
The blade is super not too shiny not too satin, perfect.
WOW
