Thread: Fili 14 cleaned up and dressed

I've been looking for a Filarmonica 14 for quite sometime, yet was never willing to shell out the $$ that were being asked. One early Sunday morning I came across this "blade only" Fili on Ebay with a "buy it now" that had just been posted. I acted immediately and lets just say that I can't even fill up my gas tank for what I paid (First time I actually felt lucky on ebay!)

I dressed her in some Royal Blue G10 with a Toxic Green G10 Wedge (I thought these seemed in line with the colors of other Filis) and domed brass washers with brass pins. The G10 has a grain pattern that may be hard to see in the photos, but it is really cool looking in person. I have her honed up and will shave with her today sometime.

Here are the photos (there is not a crack at the heel end of the blade, it was a piece of arm hair. I took the pictures right after honing). Enjoy.
