Thread: Help me decide

Well I decided to give the diamond a hammered touch and blue it. I had to go to 8 different shops to find some bluing solution. I figured that with all the gun supply shops around me it would be readily available, but I guess not. Atleast I have it now since I have a few other razors with blued tangs that have started to fade. I only hammered part of the diamond, then blued it and then sanded it down to give it a rough look. It looked better in my head. Decided to bevel the edges on the cocobolo. I think they turned out pretty well. I think these will be the ones that I will use, but since I still have to pin up the razor who knows what will happen in that time. Thanks everyone for all the ideas and opinions.

That looks great mocked up. I do that with small screws from Micro-Fasteners but i'm sure you did it the same way. That is going to turn out a very nice razor!!!!

No matter which wood you use for the scales, it will be the final finish that makes them look their best. Take your time.
