It is... a work in progress.
Lost for words here, but as a west German of sorts, you should get my drift: "Du hast echt eine Schraube locker".
Apart from that, seriously good stuff going on here. Keep going, chap.
Let's certify Bart. I do mean that in the BE sense of the word. *harrump*
;)
You said the contest would occur in 2009. As far as I'm concerned, you're right on schedule! Also, thank you very much for doing this. Could I have the 8th one from the front. It looks like a good one!
I have been curious as to what happened with it. Thanks for the update :tu
Double Arrows have decent steel, but the scales are a disaster. It would be a pity if someone's honing results got mangled form hitting the scales. Also, I thought it would be a nice treat to give the contenders a competition razor that was unique it its kind.
The material is Trespa and I got it for free from a firm, that sympathized with the purpose. The working ours are on me.
Still need to do some final polishing, tweaking the blades a bit (fix the shoulder issue that's typical for DA's) and then we'll start the procedure for entering the game.
Bart.
Nice job, Bart. Thank you for doing this. And, dang, I better blow the dust of my hones, give them all a good lapping, hone a mess of my razors and get back into honing form, eh? Game on!!:tu

There's still plenty of time, Chis...
I've mocked one up today and tried to make a few decent pictures.
I also made a final decision on how I'm going to deal with the shoulder issue. (some partial regrinding:cool:)
Please remember that I'm doing over 30 of them, so it 'll take me a while before they're all finished.
Enjoy,
Bart.
