These scales by Gary are a custom work of art. As for the blade itself, it's a beautifuly worked 8/8. It would make me as happy as a Livi piece would and it would shave just as well.

Norm, I wouldn't know as I haven't tried anything over 6/8. I do want to have a 7/8 and an 8/8 in my rotation but I'm in no rush, especially considering my finances.

You're in luck. This is a restored NOS (New Old Stock -- never used) piece. Ice-hardened edge, with ice-blue scales.
