New handles for the Wapi... What do you think?

[sillymike]

Like many other guys, I ended up buying some wapi straight... But never really got around to using them because of the weight of the handles (just feels 'odd' to me)...

So a few weeks ago, I had the chance to "bump" into a guy (a cabinet maker, I think) who had just made his first set a knife scale...

After chit-chatting for a while, I made a joke that he should use his skills to make some straight razor handles... and he accepted the challenge!

I lent him one of my wapi, and a week later... here are the results

Not bad for a 1st try... What do you think?

They look great, how's the balance?

Sweet! When's the sale?

Those look very nice. I would adorn a Wapi in one of those for certain, but.....the real question is:

What have you been doing since October 2008?

Maybe he's been stalking you very stealthily.

Very cool and unique. I like!

Lurking around and learning to shave...

Don't know yet... I should have it back in a week or so...
