DePews in Abalone

Finished this one a few days ago. I've been waiting to score one of these blades for around 2 yrs now and the day finally came when I found this fine specimen. This one was inspired by a Dovo that Max had rescaled and also Mastro Livis snake razor. Polished this one up and rescaled in Abalone Acrylic with Mother of Pearl translucent wedge. Finished off with Brass pins and washers. Honed up and shaves like a dream :) Enjoy the pics.

Holy Smokes! Now we have seen it all! A customized DePews! I have not seen one which was not honed down into the etch! It looks alive! Cool! :nj

OMG that really came out freaking nice, I love the use of the curves of the scales to accent the curves of the razor, and you turned the pivot end to the right direction :tu

Wow. Great looking package, you have certainly breathed some life into that blade with your choice of materials and shape.

Nice work, Rob! Was the DePews a local find or a flea bay special?

(although I wouldn't blame you for not divulging any local sources if you found any :rofl2:)

Thanks Ryan. Pretty well all of my blades are off the bay as was this one. Most of the places around here seem to know or at least think they know what old straights are worth :(
