    That is Stu-pendous work.

    The quality of the pinning is as good as any I've seen. The ebony in the wedge sets off the scales perfectly.

    The Stu-notch works perfectly to display the name on the tang.

    All I have to do now is pull out the micro mesh and give some serious elbow grease to the blade to get it up to the standard of the scales (Damn you Stu!)

    That's cool, I like the notch. That wood is lush, if anyone does know the name of it please share! Top job, looks great! Whoever owns the razor will be made up with that...

    Stu,

    That IS NOT Zebrawood. That wood is most likely European (London) Plane Wood, Lacewood, or some type of Australian Flamed Oak. Hard to tell on such a small piece and without knowing the grain direction.
