Most vintage sterling scales are pressed of thin sheets. This keeps them surprisingly light and enables real 'shapes' instead of just silver slabs. If made of solid silver, scales such as these would be too heavy, IMO.
So is there a special weight limit on the scale ?, or can i make it so the balance is in the middle of the whole razor when unfolded ?
The blade is 6mm thick at the spine, so it is quite heavy.
