Thanks. As for the point, that's probably just my poor photography. I didn't really change the profile of the edge much at all, other than to hone it up to shave-ready (or my closest approximation :p)

That's a very nice and fitting scale shape. I like how the scales are so thin - in my own laboratory, I hesitate to make horn scales that thin, for fear of rushing, overheating, and warping them :(

Lovely restoration great looking razor, very well done.

Jamie.

The rounding of the scales at either end is superb workmanship to mange it without even a hint of a flat.
