A group buy would be frikkin sweet! You know most of the regs here would buy one, whether they could afford it or not (or could explain it to their SWMBO)
I mean, just by nature of trying to replicate the logo razor it would have a few specs naturally inherent to the design....obviously barber's notch, humpback, hollow ground, skinny shank (hopefully not too skinny to hold) and big old frikkin tang.....
It's tough to tell the scale of the drawing, but looks like it'd be about 6/8 and maybe 3 1/2" long?? brass pins?
The only real questions would be what materials to use for the blade and scales....no problem, right?! heh :gl:
To get the scales to be that solid aqua blue color, you'd have to use some kind of synthetic plastic/composite/celluloid type material, right? Preferably one that would be easy to inlay a logo onto, or better yet, something that could be manufactured in short run for relatively little $$$.....the logo looks to match the blade, so it would prolly be inlaid with silver or steel...silver is generally preferred as an inlay material
Now the blade material would be a little more complicated. Are there companies that sell JUST blades? Decent quality blades? Depending on how many options there are, this would probably narrow down the choices available pretty quick.
Hmmm....I'm just a n00b so I could be way off base, but it sounds like nailing down the specs wouldn't be all that hard (assuming everyone can agree we are actually trying to recreate the razor in the logo, and not some tricked out customized version that doesn't resemble it at all....heh)
