    Default The Invicta, A short history

    Well, several attempts at making scales and cleaning up of one razor over the past four months.

    Original

    There was a crack in the scale that is not visible...

    In purple heart as close to the original scales as possible.They ended up cracking by the pivot.

    They all look great! I really like the cherry though, it is a very attractive wood. Is it just the angle on the picture or is the wedge a little small on the cherry? Oh, and what is the wedge material on the 2nd one? I really like that contrast.

    Thanks for sharing,

    Thanks for looking. The wedge on the second one the original wedge. Not sure of the material. I think it is just the angle. The wedge actually looks sort of funny in the pic (cherry).
