    Yes but I was forced to sand the outer side of the scales since it look somewhat bloched in appearance. I plan on using renaissance wax which will also protect the ivory better.

    Thanks but if you saw it under 10x magnification you may change your opinion :-). I really enjoy scrimshaw and was looking for a unique way to incorporate it with my scales.

    The new scales are truly amazing work… I love the design.

    But I have one issue with the design... it appears; when the razor is closed, the edge will strike the part of the wedge that extends below the razor.
