Glad you enjoyed that Aust. I have two, which were among my first.

Just FYI, all scales flex...some more, some less...it is part of the mechanical design that make the razor work as it does, and why most have a wedge at the toe instead of a straight filler. There is a whole thread or two (or more) on here somewhere about how it all works. It is quite ingenious.

Again, glad you're enjoyed your razor!
