I got this in the mail on friday. Was out of town, otherwise would have posted earlier.
I have rubbed it with a little flitz for about 5 minutes, then honed her up.
The scales are cool, but man do I dig the shape of the blade. Thumbnotches are awesome.

Doc,
On that 3/4 hollow Razor Max posted...have you ever seen one in a full hollow or atleast a full in that spine/point. The one I have is a standing tree with NO modle #'s and is a true full Hollow. Pore pic on page 4. Maybe not a 1056?
I don't have the razors to look at end on, but often the difference between a 3/4 hollow and a full hollow is simply what someone calls the grind. What I mean is that someone might call a given blade a 3/4 hollow while someone else calls it a full hollow.
...Or maybe your blades do have different grinds. I'm sure Doc will know more.
On mine you can see just behind/above the beval were the belly is then it gets real thin again. You can feel it too. It is what I call a true full.
Mine looks like the Full in the link and it sings like a canary.
