Talking 8/8 Henckels SP worked back with Carbon Fiber

This blade was rescaled for a member here. My design for the carbon fiber scales. I had complete artistic freedom. I knew he liked wild stuff rather than traditional so I came up with this. He loves it. The tapered spacer is acrylic. Pins are brass/SS/brass stacked washers with nickel silver peened pins. Look great in person! Comments/constructive criticism welcome. Enjoy!

Sorry, I'm not taking on any more "projects". That means no scales, restoration, honing, you name it. Look for my custom razors in the future though!

Another fine job Alex!!! The scales look awesome and accent the scalloped back on the blade perfectly...I can see why someone would like it. I love it.

Easily the most aesthetically challenging[1] razor I've seen here. That Zwilling logo automatically conjures up images of poultry shears. But your interpretation of this particular blade is truly innovative. If Henckels were still making razors worth the name in 20 years's time, they should be proud if they looked like yours.

Very nicely done! I would love it if my 8/8 blade was encased in similar scales.

I love the color of that spacer and how it's incorporated in the overall scheme of that razor. It just "pops". Very nice, Alex.

Very, very nice Alex. I'm a fan of that spacer too. And I like the overall shape of the scales a lot. Your stuff just keeps getting better and better mate
