Two out of the shop today !!!
A Covered Tang rebuild in Red Flame Acrylic and a Blue wedge the razor a Union Cutlery 5/8 Hollow...
The Imperial Improved Eagle Razor 6/8 in Pearl Acrylic with a Red Flame wedge, this one was a little tricky on the blade polish as I sure did not want to lose the etch... I used the buffers on the whole razor, but started at 600 grit on the etch side, once it was clean and bright I put the razor in the tumbler for a week...
Both of these are heading over to Washington to our own LarryP..

Great job Glen!
That red wedge really stands out against the white acrylic. Nice!

That was all Larry, in fact I wasn't so sure about the color choice until the polishing on the acrylic was done, then I realized how good those two came together....

Glen, they are both beautiful but I love the shape of the white scales. I also really dig the color contrast of the wedge with the red scales and the tang covering is bad to the bone. Great looking work !
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
