Marsh & Brothers co. Ponds Works
A "Roxo" for Roxojax Just a re-scale on this one in Amber Swirl acrylic with a Black wedge we went with triple Brass pins on this with a hidden surprise on the center pin.. the Razor is an heirloom and was in fantastic shape just a light hand polishing...
This is the first Hollow Grind I have worked on from this company so I am rather looking forward to the test shave from it... thinking maybe the Charnely Forest for the finisher

Beautiful scales bro ! Remind me of honey horn.
The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.

Nice choice with the acrylic, the color is beautiful. Nice slick lines on the scales too. I like it.

Nice, I like the scale shape.
Is the third pin for show, or does the tang sit on it?

A loaded question

The one thing that you really need to be careful of when building scales with the 3rd pin is not creating a stress point in the scales by either pushing the scales out to much, or sucking them in to much

You would have to go quite a bit back in time to find a set, but I have used that reversed Spanish point look for the wedge in the past, Roxojax found a set I had built like that and linked it to me for the design... Originally Posted by nessmuck

G,
I like the look of that toe. Reminds me of a pulpit/bowsprit on a sailboat.

Glen, the reason I ask is that I have been given a razor to rescale, which has a third pin, and the tang sits on the third pin spacer. The blade width is smaller than the tang also, really big, chunky tang.
Sorry this is more a workshop question.......
