    The scales are cut. I don't tend to do etching. Check this out.

    She's beautiful John, but that was to be expected

    If there are words like twoderful and threerific, they apply! Way better than wonderful or tworrific.

    Your work is truly art. Thank you for sharing with us all. It's a pleasure to watch a chunk of metal turn into a piece of functional art.

    Thank you so much for the link to how you do that. After seeing it I am going to stick to wood scales for now. That is an amazing feat! I like the all metal look prior to enamal but that's just me. You are an amazing metal smith!

    Big respect to the craftsmanship and exquiste attention to detail.
    Love the way you have kept brass color out of the equation.
    Personally I would be frightened to death to use this razor but would love it as a piece of art on display.
