7/8 monkey tail in blond horn

This one is has gone to thewatermark.
After a few emails, drawings and changes, the design was a mix of what he wanted and what I could do.
All in all I really like how it turned out.
Blade is a 7/8 spike point with a long tail and top thumb notch. The angle on the tail was kept low. Even with the lengthy tail stropping feels no different then any other blade because the low angle keep the tail covered by the scales. Jimps top and bottom
Scales are blond horn with translucent horn wedge and stacked washers.

What a unique and pretty grind on that blade, and that horn looks like it's made from candy, mmmmmmm razor scales.

closed the curve of that metal makes me think of a whale, or dolphin swimming at the surface of the water.

It is different, no doubt! Growing on me! What I like most about it is it seems to have some perfect ergonomics in the tang/blade angle. It would be hard to drop it! That long tail is sweet, down low. I would love a shave with it! Great work!

Very nice. Something about those jimps on the back of the tang and that nice long tail, I like it a lot.

Thanks for the nice words,
While it is has a unique shape with the sloped tang, it is very neutral feeling in the hand

Looks good! I like the jimps down the tang, and the notches.

Howdja do that?

Usually when I look at a scaled razor, my eyeballs zero in at a few cross points, looking for expected shape of blade to scales. My heart liked it, but my quick point/click didnt.

This combo made my eyeballs stutter, slow down and look as a different perspective. Totally enjoy the change.

Fine looking piece.
