Have a good day gentlemen !
It's a skill and a Art form to see something in a object that many people would otherwise throw in the bin, I think you have done a super job on both the blade and the handle.
Jamie.
That is spectacular, very creative.
Really cool! Nice job!
What do you call that. It looks great is it a razor or knife. I want to here how it shaves.
I LOVE IT!!!! You gave her another life, beautiful!!
PS: Je ne savais pas que tu participais à ce forum... Je me souvient de ton avatar du 3C!
cheers

East meets west. Great job. Doesn't the tsuba get in the way when honing the blade?
Thanks Gentlemen !
Goingst8 : it's a Filarmonica, so i think it will shave very well...
Doom : i will be here, more now !
Kees : for sure, the tsuba is on the way (a little) ! ahahah, but it's more an "exercice of style" than a real daily shaver....
I was wondering the same thing.Quote:
