    I love the shape of that razor, very nice curves.

    I like it! Especially how the tang shape is echoed on the scales.

    It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
    This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.

    So here's what she looks like! ok about the scales- they are acrylic, and i original roughed them out with those thorns on the side like shown out the out line in the pics on the post above; unfortunately they interfered with the closing of the razor so i tryed to get creative and do something with heat.... not a good idea. the rear scale ended up a little melted so long story short i cut off the thorns and the rear guy has a little war scar. o well i think it looks pretty nice. i opted for bolt n nut on these for an industrial look. I will be attending the new york city / long island meetup in jersey tomorrow morning. going to see if we can get this bad boy on the stones then. for now let me know what you think!!

    I think you did great ! The first one is always the learn as you go method as I am finding out myself. It's tough but you pulled it off. Congratulations .

    Shame about the thorns, but I think it turned out really great! Nice and aggressive to match the regrind.

    I like the color and shape of the scales. It looks aggressive. Good job!
