    Default 52100 and honey horn

    Here is one I did yesterday. Blade is half hollow 52100

    Honey horn scales, G10 wedge with copper spacers. Pins are Nickel/silver with stainless washers. Pivot washers also installed.

    Blade bevels are satin finish, the tang and spine are mirrored. Its tough to capture with a camera.

    EDIT- Oh yeah! Its sitting on my new Zulu Grey!!

    That sums up what I was thinking, very nice. I like the shape of the tang a lot.

    I love the spirals on the spine, and how the horn looks a little rustic.

    Thanks guys, there is a little story with this one. I met and became friends with an older gentleman, who told me his dad shaved with a straight, and taught him to do so as well. When his dad passed, their razors went missing. He kinda gave up on straight shaving, choosing to use double edge razors, but kept looking for a good replacement straight. The ones he tried, he said the steel quality was poor, not like the ones he remembered. So as a gift, I gave this one to him last night. Kinda tugs on the old heart strings to see a grown man get misty eyed. I'll let you all know how he likes it.

    Thanks again for the kind words, I'm glad you like it.
