The scales are taking shape! Hopefully the pins arrive today, I'll shape the wedge and I'll be finished.

Thanks Bruno, that's what I was thinking when I redesigned it again.

One more design and I'll stop clogging up the thread until I get the Kirinite and start shaping it I promise.

Since the razor has the long tail with jimps and curves like the Alien's tail, I...

Thanks, I'll keep it in mind when I get the Kirinite and start shaping it. Thanks everyone for the help.

Based on UKRob's suggestions and Suavio's first design, (which I love the lines of) I made these up. I think they'll keep with the alien lines of Bruno's original design, but also keep the scales...

Thanks for the tip, I'll sketch it up like that before I cut out the cardboard so I can testnit out.

I'm going to end up making the scales out of Kirinite anyway since I've already got it in the...

Damn you Suavio, I feel like I have to learn scrimshaw now so I can try something similar to that second design in bone. I love the curves of it, I'm going to draw something up similar to it and see...

I did see those, they were actually my inspiration for trying to make a set of scales that flowed with the blade.

I'll do that. It's just a unique blade (as with most of Bruno's) so I'm trying to come up with a unique set of scales for it, but it seems like scales are generally shaped the way they are for a...

I was thinking the same thing. I keep trying to sketch something up that just covers the edge of the blade but it doesn't seem to look right, and I'm definitely going to have issues with that pin....

So I went home and sketched it out with the razor beside me and I think this one works better. 176586

That's the idea. What do you think of the look of the scales?

It's 1/4 hollow. That's what the third pin in the sketch is for (ideally) there's a hollow behind the heel that I think the pin will sit nicely in.

So I went ahead and ordered this Kirinite since the black MOP was out of stock and masecraft required a minimum order of $50 when I only needed $20 with of acrylic. We'll see how it works!...

Thanks Substance and Bruno. I've checked out usaknifaker.com already but they're out of stock of black MOP and haven't answered any emails.

Hey everyone, I have this Bruno blade that I purchased from another shaving forum:

And I love it, but I don't think the scales do it justice. I'd like to do something a little more fitting...
