Remake of my second razor
I got some new material to work with a while back and yesterday i finally got some washers and rods i could use to peen to razor with so i just had to try it out. I came to think of my orange razor i made scales for a while ago and i dident like them. So i threw the first scales away and made these black ones in G10, the wedge is also G10 (ghost, jade or what you call it). I got everything together and went to hone this blade. Then i rememberd why i had put this razor aside, i cant get a decent edge on it whatever i do :P Shame on such a beautiful blade. I think ill send it to this guy i had some contact with earlier if he still hones razors. Anyway it would be very nice to recive any comments
Btw this is my 4th custom made set of scales.

Very cool, edgy design. Barber notchs are my favorite, and I definitely like the newer black scales better.

Orange handles remind me of work, kind of makes me anxious. I do not care for knives with orange handles either. The black is a more soothing color and that blade looks much elegant now.
Good Call

Honed (Jens) lives in Sweden - near Stockholm, as I recall. I think he could put a proper edge on it.
