Yeah, and if putting cheap handles on it make it cheaper, then I say do it... I can make handles, it's making the blade that's impossible.


Doesn't say Maestro on the scales... just the blade.

Cheap handles on a Mastero is like having a Rolls Royce engine with the body of a Yugo.

like I said I don't care about the price, I'll find a way...

I'm thinking about a damascus 6/8 blade with stag or other horn scales.

I agree. At cost? I say make it as nice as possible and find the money! It is exactly like getting a ferrari at factory cost! Yeah it might be expensive but if there is any way to do that wouldn't you rather get that than a Fiat?

I agree. However, looking at the examples of Maestro's work on Straight Razor Design and pics members have posted, I have yet to see a handle that looks cheap. There may be less expensive options but personally I think they're all very nice looking in their own respects and it really comes down to personal preference.

Anyway, I'm pretty excited about this and don't have too much of a preference one way or the other as far as scales are concerned, though I'd have to say MOP or abolone would be my last choices.

I'm very interested to see what we're able to come up with. No matter what, I think it will be pretty sweet.

Cheers,

Casey

or a ford with a farrari engine...

Awaiting final design???? I'm in too here!!!!
I would love anything 6/8 or below but thats just me, lets see what the group consensus is....
Hey watch the Ford knock there Mike I gotta finance a whole lot of Fords to be able to afford this razor

Heck I might even consider selling my 6/8 mint Filarmonica to finance this...
although I definitely would prefer a 7/8ths


oh, and there's nothing wrong with a Ford, except that it's not a Ferarri
you can put ivory and gold scales on a Wapi, it will still be a Wapi

If Livi decides to put pine scales on one of his blades, It's still a Livi, and you'd be a fool to change it.
Does that mean I want pine scales Heck no... I'd like olive wood, but I do want that signature on the scales also.
