Thanks Guys. It is a very good shaver. Big and heavy. I don't know enough about razors to tell a great pin job from a good one. That's why I hope Ken chimes in. I also don't know exactly what he did to get rid of the chip and make it look as good as it does. It would be nice to know how much time it spent on each hone. I do know that the scales are, according to Ken, 'period correct bone scales.'
