  1. Andro Legacy Wosik - Initial Thoughts

    I put some wood polish on the handle because it looked dry and it's beautiful now. Handsome indeed!

  7. Inside the Handle - Various blades

    Update: My goal was to change the balance point without significantly changing the weight. To accomplish this, I used wood glue to place a penny in each of the scales to shift the weight down while only adding 5 grams (wood putty could have been double/triple that). I also wanted more vibration...
