Agreed on the micarta. I think it looks a lot richer than the G10 would.

It's funny that I am old school on so many fronts...I don't own a smart phone and I have never sent or received a text message...but i don't use pins. I use folder pivots which are 2 screws and a barrel nut. I assemble and disassemble many times during construction, and I like the idea that they can be EASILY taken apart for cleaning etc... and if they get loose, just a quick snug with a torx wrench.

Okay, you have piqued and tantalized my interest! So let's have the skinny. More pictures of the pins/pivots and information on your source for purchasing them. I am familiar with folder pivots from when I was a teacher and put together a syllabus for the class. But I have never heard of such pivots being made so small. I have seen micro hex head fasteners but have never personally cared for them. So give!!!

Off topic how do you like the Eshave lime after shave?

It's a nice after shave, not oily, and I'm a sucker for anything verbina

Yes, another fine show of your craftsmanship Bob. Any straight shaver would be very proud of that beauty. Thanks for sharing.

Especially the triple jimps! Putting jimps on the tang was cool; putting them on the tail was genius.
