I used a coping saw to cut the scales, and a dremel and sandpaper for the rest.

Did you use the cutting wheel? Or something to actually grind?

Thanks,

I used a few of the orange grinding wheels of different shapes.

Here's a pic: the left one was a cylinder (used 3 of those), and the middle and right are a before/after of a conical bit (the one on the right is new).

What else could be said,,,SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL!!!! Fantastic job on that razor and the scales look awesome. The design of those scales gives it a very unique look.

Serious thanks. You do some absolutely amazing work, so that means a lot.

That's work worthy of praise. FANTASTIC! I usually like classic shapes for scales but that one flows wonderfully. You should be proud. I've seen your work over at B&B and you are quite the craftsman.

Nice razor. I like how you did the spacer.

What an amazingly classy design. I love the pins on the scales. It actually matches my humidor ;-)

Al raz.

I love it! It is a pleasure to see that big solid blade in those relatively radical scales. And I also like how the scales look really thin where they are pinned to the blade!
