Custom 8/8 Barber's Notch in red horn.

8/8 Barber's notch that will be heading to lz6
He was looking or something red, so I started looking around to see what I had.
At the bottom of my pile I found a piece of dyed red horn, so I thought I would give it a try.
I have to say about half through sanding it, I thought for sure I would throwing it in the trash.
I decided leave the face of the horn as it, with imperfections and all. I thought, if it happen to polish up OK, the imperfections for give it an old/worn look to it.
Once I started polishing it, I really like how it was turning out. It's almost a 2-tone color (which doesn't really come through in the pics)
Anyway, her she is

Stylish and impressive. The razor which one wants to touch, to held, to try.

Here is another pic, tried to get the 2-toned'ish look if it after shaping.

Those scales are awesome.. Really do it for me.
Aaaand.. looks like you've been more adventurous with the grinding. The size of the edge bevel seems to have shrunk from previous ones

You do realize that you aren't supposed to make his cooler than mine. I guess I'll just have to order another to top it. That is amazing, yes I still love mine, but wow!

Oh man that's sick. That red horn is amazing. Not to take away from your blade MM60....it's also stellar!
