    Very unique. I like your take on the scales. Do you have any more detailed pics of the blade and the scales at different angles?

    I used an Epilog engraver and Coral draw 4 to create the scale itself.
    Thanks for the compliments, it took a while to learn tricks with the machine to get good results.

    Man! Thats cool! Have you seen the copier that makes 3d objects? That particular type of Wade and Butcher wedge is a fine, fine shaver! Love em!
    Great job on this and kudos for the scales!

    I rest my case.
