    Beautiful work, I think you nailed the elegant aspect.
    Can you tell us a little more about the pins.

    Gorgeous. Reminds me of early 1800s razors a little.

    I do appreciate the kind words on my work. I pinned this one with hex head screws. The front screw tapered and counter sunk flush with a MOP cap. The rear was done similar except I slightly recessed the mop cap and added a washer to provide support at the pivot. The caps were adhered with two part epoxy on the front (permanent). The pivot screw caps were done the same but float on the washer. My thought was if necessary one could rather easily remove/re-adhere the caps if tension adjustment and or cleaning were absolutely necessary. Although, I do not see this to be the case for a long time. The MOP caps that I used in this case were taken from some old vintage mixed matched cuff links that I had in my (go-to looking for stuff box). hehehe Anyway, just thought they were different and might be cool on this one. Best Regards Kenny
