Sorry for that one, but nice scale stock for future considerations.

That was a good experience with the sellers.
This particular razor wasn't rusty. I did no cleaning. The first of the two pictures I posted--the picture of the whole razor--was the seller's picture, from the B&B Buy/Sell/Trade forum. I'll try sending him a picture of the crack and see how he responds.

that crack sucks but maybe a western ground Kamisori could be saved from it?
My buddy Sam just finished this FBU 8/8 for me. Turned out great-Attachment 183936Attachment 183937Attachment 183938Attachment 183939Attachment 183940Attachment 183941Ram horn. Heavy and very sharp. He does great work.
Looks nice, does the rams horn have any flex though?
These scales are pretty thick so no. But, if you squeeze them together in the center they do flex inward some. They are really sturdy. depending on the look you are going for, they are not perfectly straight. If you want totally polished horns then you can get them straight. I wanted that natural look so one scale bows out some. It's a different look. I like it more than I thought I would.
it might be that only one scale bows out because the razor itself is assymetric when viewed down from the top of the spine. Many sheffiels had this shape where the 'back' side of the razor is flat from shank to spine, while the 'front' is angled at the shank.
