This is the same advice I gave to my father when he was first starting. Very sound advice, especially with that chopper.

So is that a 160-pound anvil it's sitting on, or a 170-pounder? 
Very nice, very large razor. The scales are gorgeous.

Truly awesome.
The white ebony backing really brings a whole new depth to amboyna burl's natural phenominal beauty. Love that mirror polish and superb CA finish as well.
