    Arrow Manaslu M-55 - G10 Red

    This was a real fun project.

    Those Manusla M-55 Japanese (Western style) razors are quiet nice, sharp and good looking. It was decided that Red G10 would match both the red "55m etching and storage box. Design had to stay traditional and classic. I also decided to add a tapered blue G10 wedge to match the rest of the blade's blue etching. Pins are nickel silver and washers stacked SS and Brass.

    Max,
    I am sure you know this by now Maetsro...but, "YOU ARE DA MAN" . Not only does the red match the box and the M55 writing, but the blue wedge also matches with the other writing on the blade. Nice match making.

    So, not only are you making Maxterpieces, you are also a matchmaker .

    Who's the lucky owner of this beautiful work of art? Whoever you are...CONGRATULATIONS
