Custom Jadite Scorpion 8/8+ on Stand

Hello,

Finished this one with the stand up a few days ago. I was going for the perched "ready to strike" scorpion theme here. Scales are g10 jade green. Steel is O1. Went with a good hollow on this one, 1/2'ish On the nose pin, I used stainless rod and brass tubing for making the basic mosaic pattern. Stainless hex head pivot. The stand is a peice of burl/knot? not sure what type of wood. Have a few of these laying around here. Felt that this one fit the bill. A little sanding and work on the magnetic holder at the tail and voila!

Have a great Week !

Best Regards Ken

Absolute work of art that pushes the limit Ken. What's not to like about original form and serious function. Stunning creation that could certainly sting in the wrong hands.

WOWWEE!! Marvelous razor, marvelous piece of art.

Marvelous once again! Enjoy your snow. :)

Wow love it! That blade shape is something else - would look just as good without the recurve I recon.

Very innovative work, I like it an awful lot great job.

The grind looks awsome.

Stunning and wicked come to mind. And, those jade green scales really set off the work. Yes, I prefer jade green scales. What a masterpiece...even that burl. OK...I'm rambling now.

:rock:

Beautiful work. Just beautiful...

I can't help but wonder if the scorpion tail makes stropping difficult.

What a outstanding piece of work! Great job. Love the stand, almost looks to pretty to have with.

Amazing. Love the big blades.

Excellent work! Love it!

Do you have a website?

My dear lord! That thing is beautiful all the way around! Just love it.

I certainly do appreciate your kind words on this razor. As to the stropping, its a breeze on this one. You make a great observation though. Function and "art" can sometimes clash. :) In this case I toyed at the drawing board with a few different tail lengths and scale designs with the stropping fuction specifically in mind. The one you see here seemed to provide the best overall function without design compromise. Best Regards Ken

I am very impressed by the design of this piece of art, well done. Beautiful razor.

Ken, absolutely sensational work. Form meets function perfectly. Well done.
