Peaso
Here is a couple of pix of some scales I made for my Peaso razor. I used Leopard wood and transfered the inlay from the old, broken scales. Unfortunately, during assembly, I dropped the blade and ruined it. I am trying to decide to either buy another razor or just sell these. Either way, I think they look cool.

What an innovative design! Usually the tang sticks out the other end.
Nice work on the inlay.

That is a bummer about the blade. The grain/pattern in the wood came out perfect on those scales, they look great.

The blade in the second pic was used to hold the scale so I could take the pic. It is not attached. Sorry for the confusion. lol

About 1/2" of the tip of the blade broke off. Any thoughts on just shortening the razor?

I'd say try and find another blade to fit those scales..they turned out really nice and i'm not even a big fan of woods.

That looks very nice. I have decided to shorten the blade and modify the scales to fit.

Nice. The third pin in the middle can now be your pivot pin. Originally Posted by ktinch

Hmmmmmmmmm, I just picked up a Peaso on eBay with boring black plastic scales. If you do decide to get rid of them, please drop me a PM. I think they'd look very nice on my Peaso.
As a matter of interest, how hard are the inlays to take off? I've got a Wusthoff that came with broken scales. I've got a replacement set on it but I'd love to take the Trident inlay off the old ones and glue it on the replacements.
