Thread: Wapienica... G10 black/Red *Updated

I got this Wapi send in for some new scales.

As it goes this project isn't fully finished yet, but it will be interesting to follow it up. Hopefully I'll get it back for some more pics of the final project.

Greg decided on G10 black/red with only SS washers/pins and transparent wedge.

For people who don't know the Wapi.. well it's a Polish made razor from Swedish steel and are usually 1/4 or 1/2 hollow and sized 5/8, French point. They originally come with solid steel handles which throws them off balance as the weight of the scales overpowers the balance of the razor.

This Wapi is a project Greg is putting together for his son. Since his son is a born 'Leo' he wanted a silver Lion inlay on the scales.

The razor is now being send to 'David Yellowhorse' in Arizona, who is going to make and implement the silver lion inlay.

Greg has also the intention to have some file work done on the spine.

I did ask Greg how old his son was and he replied........ '1'.

Greg likes to think ahead! He'll probably use the razor himself until his son starts to shave.

Who says you can't style a Wapi!

As promised here's an updated thread on Greg's Leo Wapi I first made.

He got the wapi back from 'David Yellowhorse' who finally finished the silver inlay on both sides of the scales.

Greg just send the razor to me to put the final edge on this baby and hone it up.

I must say I was drooling when I first saw it. First I had to wipe Greg's drool off and now mine. 'David Yellowhorse' did a marvelous job and pics don't do this any justice.

This is an awesome looking Wapi.
