o, I love the black edge! Awesome work...

I am a furniture restorer by trade. I finished the scales with a catalyzed lacquer because that is what I happened to have in my spray gun at the time. This is the finishing schedule that I used.
· sanded to 220
· clear coat, clear lacquer, sand 320
· black lacquer, I used an aerosol, masked with tape
· several more layers of clear lacquer sanded with 320 between coats
· sanded 600, then 4X steel wool and wax.
The catalyzed lacquer looks ok but does not have the clarity of CA or shellac. It is not as gray/cloudy as a polyurethane though.
The same process could be replicated with aerosols or CA. I have not tried it but I think that you could use a coat of Krylon between the coats of CA with no adverse affects. I would use Krylon brand because of the type of resins that is made of.

Charlie, excellent job!
Very nice Charlie....I, as some of the others, like the black trim on the sides it just does something nice to the razor..........way to go...:tu
Very nice job, love the brass washers on the outside. I had the same problem on a couple of blades wanting to pop out of the scales due to the tang & I ended up putting in a third pin. The third pin spacer opened up the scales up so that the scales aren't squeezing the tang. If you do it, just pay particular attention to placement: Monkey tail swing on opening & how deep the tang sits (or you want it to set) in the scales.
