Thread: 4/8 "Daedalus" in Bloodwood

This razor taught me a LOT. Specifically, the bloodwood taught me a lot: It is very, very brittle...and there is a limit to how thin you can shape wooden scales. I crossed that limit and paid with hours of work stabilizing hairline cracks with epoxy and an resulting finish that, while very good, is not up to my usual standards of perfection.

That said, the wood is lovely and glimmers in your hands. The blade polished up to a like-new shine, with very little hone wear. The wedge on this one is something special: Horn reclaimed from the broken scales of a very old Joseph Allen. I like recycling, and re-purposing.
