This one I did for one of our members.
The request was for a purple acrylic, but the kind that is almost black with light purple tint.
I was not able to find exactly that but I found a very cool transparent purple with very low transparency factor.
I especially like how the body of the scales are very deep almost black purple, while close to the edges the purple really comes forward for a nice effect.
The blade was done with greaseless and buffing compounds as much as it allowed, brass pins and washers.

That came out very good. Anytime I hear purple in conjunction with razors I cringe, but this is really nice.

I would have never done it if the color was not the right one.

Great work! Beyond the colors being striking, the size and shape of the scales are excellent. The blade is fantastic as well.
