Thank you for the offer but I'll settle for your opinion. After all, I really don't like grinding away at other peoples property.
That makes me even more happy about my purchase that he just came on the forum and explained. I can't wait to get it!
Couple more pics for perspective. I really like the contrast of the walnut scales with the maple wedge.

Scott is making some beautiful and functional razors, and is very responsive. I am saving a few shekels to buy a semi-custom...the spalted maple scales are something I really shouldn't have seen. I hope that Scott and this company enjoy continued success. Good to have a resource such as this.
OP: thanks for the thoughtful review...
Scott also builds a nice strop. He did this using hardware I sent him. Smooth as ice.

I'm really liking the looks of The Kraken in Ivory Acrylic.
Well I have been working with Scott on getting a custom Hydra. Looking forward to a final decision on my part today. One of my hold ups has been the look of the scales. The toe end reminds me very much of the Hart design which I really hate. I am thinking about seeing if Scott can double pin the toe side to give it a bit more class.
