That is very true.. maybe make a set of faux scales for storage purposes and use the razor without scales.

I like it. Cool looking design that I keep finding myself coming back to like charlie said. Thanks for sharing

thanks guys. i'm done with the scales and all i have to do is rivet it. i'll post the japanese style one when i post this one when i'm done

it's donezo. i dyed the lacewood to make the overall look less busy. CA glue finish. and i put 2 small washers on either side of the tang to make the ball go through easier. i also carved a small gouge on either side and it passes through nicely. nickel silver accents and rivets



and heres the screwup/japanese- turned brass ferrule and endcap and i forget the wood but it's a burl with CA glue finish

So very sweet. Beautiful work.

Very Nice.. as others have said let me know if you need some one to test it out for you

Beautiful scales on your folding razor, I like how you handled the ball. Both razors are great combinations of wood and metal.

Charlie

Very nice work on the whole project and good choice darkening the lacewood.
Iv'e used it for bottle stoppers and can imagine what a difference that made in the overall look.

If they were mine absolutely everyone who came to visit would have to see them i'd be so proud to own them !

Stunning work

That looks absolutely awesome! I just love the pattern.
