Ray,
The gears are engraved. I can tell you the pictures don't really do them justice.

You had to post those pictures. Sigh.
Amazing work! Thanks for posting.
I'm assuming he uses CNC for that stuff(gears in the tang)? Am I way off base? I know you said engraved, but they seem awfully deep for engraving work. Of course, I don't know at what depth an engraving becomes a CNC mill job. I'm completely unqualified to even ask the question actually. But stuff like this keeps me awake at night.
Jeff you're killing me here. I come back and see this work of art.. robert is truely an artist. I feel like what I do is paint by the numbers to his Mona Lisa...
Thanks for sharing this Jeff. I've got to admit that I am jealous. It would be great to watch one of the custom makers at work.
Wow, that is just an amazing pair of scales. The razor is quite possibly one of the most beautiful I have ever seen. Thanks for sharing the pictures.
Impressive craftmanship. The engraved gears in that first razor are very cool. Ken
