Second Henckels in Cocobolo

I got a coworker shaving with straights. He bought a TI as I did, with a round toe. He wanted something with a point. I got a Henckels off eBay for him, only paid $13. It was in ok shape, one of the scales was cracked, and when I started refinishing the blade I found some real nasty grind marks. Looks like someone was trying to sharpen it on a belt grinder with about 660 grit. Still, the blade had alot of life left.
So I had some cocobolo from my previous restores, and decided to use that. I am attaching the pics of it and my previous Henckels in Cocobolo. My pinning got alot better, and I shined them up as recommended by a previous post.
The blade I hand sanded from 600-2000. I haven't honed it yet, but I have about 7 hours of work into the whole thing.
Now I don't know if I want to give it up. I am 2 razors towards a 7 day set!
Decisions, decisions.

Great looking razors. You get extra points for hand sanding, they turned out fantastic!!!

Two down, only five left to go!!!

I'd say keeper. He doesn't have to know...lol. Nice work!

I wouldn't give this one up. It looks awesome. He'll never have to know......

I would never give up that Hanckels. :)

Beautiful work! and job well done.

Looks like the vote is for keeping it....
Now I need to figure which one to actually give him....

Cocobolo is probably tops on my wood list, very nice.

Dude-
You know you had a blast doing both of these.
You'll make a few more;
give them both up and make more! Of course please share.

Very nice work.

Nice job. The pinning looks great too.
