    beautiful blade and I love the color and pattern in the scales. does the casting process dictate the shapes attainable with this material?

    Beautiful coloring Gary, correct me if I am wrong, but are those a slightly different design, or are my eyes playing tricks????

    Gorgeous! I love the color on those scales.
    Can I ask, what makes a razor a "concave grind"?

    For the record Gary....I love the scales. That is exactly what I was hoping for on the honeycomb effect.
