    Default Christensen "challenge razor" in brass lined walnut.

    Ok, this has been a long time coming... I really had hoped to get this done much sooner, but life happened and things came up and well you get the idea.

    Anyhow, without further delay I submit my response to Bruno's resto challenge with this Christensen "Warranted" for your viewing and comments.

    The scales are brass-lined claro walnut, and the wedge is maple. The blade had some rust and pits, but after honing it seems like there are not going to be any edge pit problems or anything. I did my level best to copy the original scale shape exactly, and here you go.

    Great job & choice of timber.
    Very classy

    Excellent work. It looks really nice.
