    Rob This set is actually one of the only ones I have ever seen that look like "Straight Razor Scales" I saw this when you posted it last.. I said to myself "That is the set to match or beat"

    Everything else I have seen looks, huge clunky un-balanced and just plain Butt Ugly
    Kudos on achieving something that looks "Right"
