    I appreciate the craftsmanship in this. You have a nice finish without rounding all your corners with too much polishing. The edges and corners that should be square and crisp are. Nice design too.

    Well Done!

    Sweet is becoming the norm for you Kenny. +1 on Charlie's comments and Kudos on recognising the need to move the pin and having guts to do it. You accomplished it brilliantly.

    That's not a mistake - it's a design element!

    I like how thin the scales are, some people make these bigger razors a little too clunky for my liking.

    That shows in this peice. I look at some custom razors and I see rounded corners and edges where the maker apparently was more concerned with making it shiny than keeping the work clean and crisp. Ken did a great job on this keeping the work clean and crisp. I don't see anythign on this that has been rounded off with a buffer.

    Really really clean and the symetry looks dead on as well.

    I don't know that I have seen any of Ken's other pieces. Ken do you have a website?

    I love the wedge and the flush pins. The wood is gorgeous too. Sweet is the right word to use!
