8/8's swordfish custom
It has been a hectic holiday season for me, but good, and I hope good for all of you. The first razor of the new year is an 8/8's square point with thumb and forefinger notches. It is full hollow polished to a mirror finish. the scales are swordfish bill (sword) and coated with epoxy. These were quite a challenge to work with until I discovered the secret. Wedge is rose madrone.
As always, Thanks for looking

Nice work but what's with the writing on the scales? To me it detracts from the finished work.

I really like the look of those scales. Is that the natural coloring of the swordfish or did you use some kind of dye on them?
