Hey guys here is the first idea:

It is pretty much a straight rip off of that Bloody Death razor that was posted on here a while ago. It is rough though, so dimensions will vary as will some of the proportions.

What I like about this design is how the spine of the razor is parralleled by the scales up to the tang which is covered. I think the line here runs well with the hump of the tang itself. Most of my designs have this idea incorperated in it, since I also like the way it compliments the barbers notch.

I do think that the toe one of the scales are a bit unsightly for the look im going for. It screams a little bit toooo much.
