    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...

    2nd
    In purple heart as close to the original scales as possible.They ended up cracking by the pivot.

    3rd
    Purple Heart again with a different shape...

    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).
