    Default 5/8 Waterville Cutler in T6066 Aluminum

    Well I wanted to try something different as far as the scales go. So this is a 5/8 Waterville Cutlery. The scales are made of T6066 aircraft aluminum, I polished the bevel and did a satin brushed look in the center. The wedge is black and gold recon stone with brass liners. The washers are brass and hand domed along with brass pins. I went a little larger on the pins and washers I used .072 instead of my normal .080. ( Sorry pics didnt come out as good as I would of liked)
    Regards, Tony B.

    Nice. I like the brushed finish and I think it will be a lot more practicle than a polished one.

    Very modern looking. I like it. I agree that the satin finish was the best way to go....less fingerprints to polish off! Nice work.

    That's a good looking razor, and Waterville too. Great attention to the details in the washers ,the two textures of the scales, and the lined wedge.
