H. Diamond in Koa

Got this razor in a lot, it was without scales but in very nice shape. At the time I did not have any material for some unique scales so I buffed the bleade and put in the "to do box" for when the right time comes.
Recently I came upon some very nice and unique wood, professionally stabilized Hawaiian Ribbon figured Koa and made a set of scales.
The scales were finished in wipe on poly, the wedge is flamed redwood burl.

The razor is unique to me, I have nod seen H. Diamond like that before, it is 7/8 (unlike the usual 13/16) and double bellied, just a very solid piece of steel. This one is going in my collection.

Great work ! I see why you want to keep this one all to yourself!

that is stunning!!! I can't stress how much I appreciate a good set of wooden scales :)

Good work on the scales. They are very complimentary to the Diamond. I have never met a Diamond series razor that
was not a top of the line shaver. Diamonds rank with best in the world.

Nicely done. A lovely bit of work you did there Sir!

Gosh that's some gorgeous wood. Great job!
