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.
