Thread: Puma 14 in Black Horn (inlay xfer)

That's a great looking razor. You've done a beautiful job, Brad. They do blow the originals away!

I have to ageree, It looks better than the day it came out of the factory. Very nice.

Very nice job. The first thing I noticed was the inlay being opposite from the original; however, I think it looks good as is. If the owner uses a razor stand in which the tang holds the razor up, then they will be able to read the inlay appropriately. YMMV. Again, great job.

Certainly beautiful.

I'd even consider the inlay direction as an improvement. As noted, stored tang down in a rack, it'll look proud standing amongst others in that shared space.

They look great Brad !!!

Hey BTW who is to say that guy at the factory didn't put his on backwards


Serious question though, what glue did you end up using, and when in the process did you glue them on... I know I have to get them just so when I do the acrylics, and they have to go on before the final polish...

lol.. its pretty embarassing I put it on upside down, but.. at the time all I was thinking about was not getting epoxy all over everything and I didn't even realize I shoulda been thinking about orientation. Oh well, it screams "custom" now, RIGHT?

But yeah glen, I used a quick setting epoxy, and, the epoxy is pretty much encapsulating the inlay to avoid edges getting caught on anything. Will it hold? time will tell!

Beautiful scales! Your work always looks top notch.

Cool stuff Brad, great looking work.
