I like it, mostly because it is Maple, and thus satisfies my inherent need for a "Canadian" link. Could it be something to do with the width of the stock? Perhaps the stiffness of the wood? I am guessing that it isn't, but I truly would not know, one way or the other.
Razor is a Spanish Point. The "vee" I am talking about is visible in the third razor pic. Top of the toe, on the spine.
Tomorrow night. One thing I will add is this . . . someone mentioned the shortness of the upper jimps in another thread.

Lucky me, to have such fat fingers.
