    After dropping razor, destroying the original scales and being forced to make new ones (from Indian water buffalo blanks). Scales are so translucent you can perfectly read the engraving through them.

    Those are sweet.
    Mastering implies there is nothing more for you to learn of something... I prefer proficient enough to not totally screw it up.

    The real kicker is I had just sold it on eBay before I dropped it...fortunately the buyer was understanding and patient enough for me to create these. The best $40 he'll ever spend

    You sure look a little young to be working on sharp objects?

    Very nice! Although I do understand the desire to keep everything original as possible..I think the new scales are that much better..
    Thanks for sharing and great work.
