Genco - Army & Navy
This Genco 'Army & Navy' was in very good shape to start with so I merely needed to throw it on the buffer for a good cleanup and polishing job.
The razor itself needed an Army theme. I spend a while tinkering as I was asked to keep it army, rugged, sturdy, jeep, outdoors styled but at the same time keep it traditional, classic and functional. Nothing better than G10 Olive Drab tapered with black G10. Hardware for the washers and rods are SS and silver nickel. 3 gromets are silver nickel and one is brass.
Unless they nuke the place this razor can withstand some punishment. It's rock solid build to last.
Honed this puppy up and like all Gencos they take a super edge.
Enjoy.

Great look, and perfect pairing with the gun, even before I noticed it I thought "glock" just looking at the scales, there is beauty in the simple yet durable fuctionality of the piece. Looks like it should come standard in ever GIs kit.

Stunning work, Max! As always, you've hit a home run! Most of all, though, it makes me just have to say:
GO ARMY! BEAT NAVY!!

You rock
Thank you! It looks even better than I hoped for.
I'm looking forward to taking it for a spin.

Hi Max,
Very nice
...I like the "quartet' of holes in the scales...any functional significance to them?
