    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.

    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....
