You could have said one of the pro's made them and I wouldn't have known the difference. Very nice job. You cleaned up that ole' razor rather well too!
You're all nice to me, but there are still many defects, seen better when using the light box ...

Very nice work. The style of the scales is in keeping with the style of the blade.

It's difficult to see the blue-gray reflections of horn in photographs.
Much easier in reality.
