Here is how the razor currently looks. I love the blade, but I want to do something else with the scales.
So I went ahead and ordered a sheet of this kirinite in 1/8" x 6"x12". I figure that should give me enough to make two sets in case I don't like how the first set turn out.
And here's a first draft my sketch for the scales. I like the idea of long slender scales. Something that will show off all of Bruno's work on the jimps and curves and complement the long tail. The pins are brass and I'm thinking of making the wedge out of the toxic green acrylic of the current scales. Keep in mind though that this is my first attempt at anything like this, so I'm happy to hear any comments or constructive criticism you might have to improve the design!
