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

    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.

    No CNC, all done by hand.

    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
