    This looks great. I really love the scales and style. Looks really nice. I would like to do a set like this at some point.

    G'day Baldy. C'mon now, don't be so modest. You did all the hard work on that one.
    Sure did need a good honing tho.

    BTW Welcome to SRP & the addiction of Str8 shaving. Hope to see more of your work

    Thanks guys,
    I dont have a lot of experience to go off but I find the balance very nice.
    The scales are 3mm thick, i dont seem to have any problems with them bending at the holes. If the holes were any bigger i might though but i think i made them just right.
    Yes the washers are rivets. Well part of the rivet anyway. at the time i just didnt know where to get small washers so i improvised.
    Cheers
    Grant.
