Ciao Rinkia.
Good job on saving the etch & nice satin finish on the scales.
Bravo!The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.

Nice restore. Quite distinct cutoff at the toe-end of the scales.

thank You....
But there are some imperfections and symmetry errors.
I used epox resin on scales.
I've bought brass rod and washers from England.
I'd like to use carbon fiber (I use it to create bike components) for next scales

great work and it is very nice if indeed it is your first one. I have done 20 but worse then yours.
My question to you about tip of the blade. why you decide to make tip is open? I think something wrong with that. just my opinion.Gl

I do think what he is trying to say is where the scales start to curve down to the back pin. It looks as thought the tip of the blade is exposed, or just slightly outside the scales. Where most razors when closed the edge is fully inside the scales. It might just be the picture. Originally Posted by rinkia

It was a choice when I've designed scales. Originally Posted by sbrouwers
