Great job! I'm impressed. I aspire to be able to do comparable work one of these days/years.

Thanks! Blade really turned out nice! Just test shaved it. Peels hair off!
The Traveler taught me how to make these!

Nice work on restoring the razor. Were you able to maintain the spiraley indentations on the tang? However, In my opinion the scales would have worked better in all red - I'm not very particular to the brown/black scheme.

But as long as you're happy! :) Keep up the good work!

Hi! The indentattions were preserved! Never thought about all red. Will try one of those soon.
Thanks!
