    Talking I. Pearce Tiger Stripe

    Here is an I. Pearce razor. Sheffield. 6/8. Tiger stripe G10 scales. G11 wedge. I really like the odd tang angle and how the scales compliment it. Color is much better in person. This razor gave me more problems than I've ever had in terms of closing centered but after hours of problem solving I got it done without it being evident. The spine has no hone wear- the grind originally had a little more space at the spine (didn't go all the way back) but I had to even it out more. I know it's not perfect (marks on spine) but I rarely try to get a 'perfect' finish on vintage blades now besides on the faces of the razor. This will also be for sale through my email list. Read my signature line. Thanks!

    Nice gunstock pattern, and I agree it goes well with the blade.

    These are the scales that you used in your "Pinning 101" video/thread, no?

    The star of the pinning video. I've been sketching out a very similar scale profile but wasn't sure how it would look in the flesh. It's very nice, but you got there first!

    Well done! A very nice example of scales that deviate from the norm! +1 on the pairing of the scales to the blade, they look great!
