Thread: Tortoise Scales?

My brother brought me a razor today for trade. At first glance I thought the edges of the dark spots are too sharp.
But then I looked closer and the spots go through, not just surface.
Also, when viewed on an angle, you can see where the pieces of shell come together, little lines on the surface.
The scale material shrank a little and the liner constricted its movement and caused cracks at all the pins.

I think it's tortoise, but am not sure.
Anybody seen any razors with these scales? Have any experience with them?
The metal liner wraps around each scale at the edges. Overall very cool even if imitation tortoise.
