least thats what i was thinking about with this build (i think it shows ) the blade is XHP powdered stainless steel and is 7/8 tall with a 1/2 hollow grind all belt finished. the scales are green anodized Ti and the spacer is stablized claro burl with CA finish.
was a fun build hope you all like it

That razor should be named Zorak.

OK at first I did not know how it struck me,
but I keep coming back and it has grown on me.
Very unique, original and has a life/vibe of it's own.
I really like how you used the wood as the liner and extended it out as its own element.
Nice work and thank you for letting us have a gander at it.
The scales are amazing on that blade.
As i have been only been making scales out of wood and that is all i have learned till now i am gonna attempt a set like those out of wood.
If they look presentable i will post them up.
Congrats,gorgeous design.
Very creative. Just as fascinating as the insect.
very original

At first I didn't see the wood, but I still liked it. And then I noticed the wood in the scales and I was blown away. That's really unique.
cool glad to have sparked a bit for you cant wait to see what you come up withQuote:

Very different and very nice. I would love to see what it looks like closed. And how does it feel in the hands?
I like the blade, very simple and elegant design. The scales just dont do it for me.
Wow, Very, Very original. Awesome. Love the choice of colours and the non-traditional scales. Well done.

Love it! :tu
Well in my limited experience with making scales i am attempting to make one like your praying mantis as the design is amazing to me.Quote:

Thank you for sharing this straight to us.
Took some wood and traced the design on the scales with the razor i will be using.
Cut it out and sanded it.
Now the wedge is where i usually have problems.
When i finish i will come back with my finished product.

Well after i saw LR Harner's Prayin mantis i was jealous and by far i do not have the craftsmanship as he does but i decided to make something close as i thought those scales were awesome.
Here is my final product and now time to hone this insect.
I have been making scales for only a few months and love it.
All this was possible from the info you guys put out,thank you.

I think this prayin mantis shape is so cool i made a couple of more scales for my 2 other straights.
Just have to pin them now.
