A new handle for a new freid

[GAW9576]

My new friend @Elvis Outlander has received this handle so now I can post pictures. He kindly sent me the die along with a die holder and some brass threaded rod for making adapter screws.
He didn't expect anything in return but I wanted to make him this handle in return.

Ha. The title was supposed to be "A new handle for a new friend." Don't know how I missed that.

I LOVE my new Handle!!!!

It is impossible to get a picture that does it justice, but here is my best shot on a Diamondback.

While my oldest son disagrees, I think it looks better on an iKon Standard B1 (that has a shiny black top cap).

@GAW9576 keeps telling me he doesn't know exactly what size he used to tap the threads, but they are just barely small enough (or tall enough) to grab onto a Schone / Fatip head. It is literally usable with every DE and GEM razor I own (except a Micromatic of course). It must be 10-32. I don't think M5x0.8 will fit the Schone.

I know. . . I know. . . . Pictures or it didn't happen. Here it is clamping the blade snuggly in a Schone (after the sun went behind a cloud).

I just love the "lines" on it. I love the swirls in the green. i love the sparkle in the black. I love the sparkle in the joint between the green and black.

The weight is so nice too with with the brass running the length.

My suspicious side makes me wonder if @GAW9576 googled the local High School when picking out colors. I knew the handle reminded me of something. . . . even down to the white accents on the green helmet. Hmmmm????

Ha. I don't follow sports so that is definitely not the case. But that is a very funny coincidence.

Nice handle & some very nice folks who like to care for one another.
