    What a gorgeous razor. The fact that the steel came from a legendary Leopard makes it more incredible. Have any made from a Tiger?

    Than you need a 2mm brass rod with a inner diameter from 1,4 mm to tap it.
    Thanks. That looks much better than microfastener.

    This is a fantastic idea. Perhaps someone will send me some of the steel from this canons. Than we will forge a damast from it. Such a tank-razor-collection could be a very special.

    Really very nice work...as usual!

    A point for clarification please....

    when you said "Than you need a 2mm brass rod with a inner diameter from 1,4 mm to tap it."
    Did you mean that you buy a 2mm brass rod then drill and tap it for the bolts to screw into?

    or

    buy a brass tube with an OD of 2 mm and an ID of 1.4 mm then tap/thread that brass tube?

    TIA
