Interesting piece, it all fits together well, but it's not quite my cup of tea. Loving the shoulderless wedge with a barber notch, and the colour of that spine. I like the worked spine somewhat, but personally think it would look better without the fancy wedge end of the scales, and without the stippling on the spine (just feels a bit too 'busy' with all that spinework, IMHO).
Also, please forgive my ignorance, but how does elephant bark ivory differ from normal ivory?

Awesome work.
Really like the stippling on the spine. Is that done chemically?The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.

The stippling can't be done chemically - at least as far as I know. It's done with a chasing hammer (or jeweler's hammer, I suppose) and a very small, very hard tipped punch.

I love the file work and the texture on the back of that razor. The whole design is great. The stippling, little notches and unique patterns make for a very classy looking razor.
