Hi Gary,

Thanks for posting the photos of your knives. You did a really good job shaping the straight razors. I like the use of the deer antler and the cherry handle with the walnut collar with a unique shape is really nice too.

Good work Gary! Working those razors down can be an onerous job, but you did a fantastic job on them. Did you use the existing pivot pin hole for the rivets?

Very nice knives Gary. I've never had a knife like the last two with the "finger grooves" Is that comfortable to use? Does it need to be customized to your particular fingers or is it "one size fits all"? I purchased a Helvie blank knife to try carving the handle along those lines. I thought I would grasp the knife and then draw lines between the fingers for guidance on how to shape it. Is this the best way to go about it? Lar
