    That is a stunning razor! The scales compliment the blade & i love the satin look! Cool notches on the shank.

    Absolutely awesome as always.

    Am I just now realizing or have youe scales alway been a only one pin on the pivot? Are they one piece or two with a wedge and glued together?

    I have always been fascinated with the resin scales and tried some experimeting. I even tried vacuum forming of original scales to get a mold from (bamboo, pea****, etc.). I know from past posts and research that you have duplicated these as well. May I PM for more onfo on the ins and outs of resin scales? I love the look of wood scales, but the resins blow the door wide open for creativity.

    Love your stuff,

    Jerry

    Great to see an offering in satin finish. Nice contrast to the glossy scales
