Thread: Peter Parker micarta

Hello everyone,

Yesterday I finished my micarta scales and I wanted to show them off. I decided to go with red and black because I thought it would give nice look to it. Halfway during sanding I discovered that if Peter Parker would use a straight razor this one might be it. The second scales that I made had a big gap between the razor and the spacer. So this time I wanted a tight fit. After filing away 0.5 mm every time a got to a point where the razor didn’t touch it even if I pushed it a bit towards the spacer. After pinning and polishing this is the result.
Some specs on the razor:
Blade: 6/8 Wilhelm Mandt sollingen germany
The leftover from the etching says “our best” and has a crown in the middle.
And the blade is made from silversteel.


So what do you guys think of it and what could I do better next time?
