Just out of curiosity, would the rigidity of metal cowl along the spine not help it recurve? …. Or heaven forbid is there a possibility that the other side (unseen) could have been hollowed to allow some flexibility?

March 20th:
ICs and reveals received. This batch got gold surface finish- so scratching the tin won’t be necessary this round…
A small detail to make finishing...
As I understand Lewis is still processing refunds in small batches- just hang tight. Once the refund is issued a private re-order link will be made available via individual communication for the new site.
More updates about this on the Veracity Facebook: but the new helpers and reveals are...
Update on Facebook via Lewis: March 8th
…”More hilts have been hand finished - 10-15 per week currently, which is comfortable for one person. The pommels being the most time consuming because of all the valleys and 'cube' walls - it is completely worth it, as they come out flawless! There's a...
“ once they come back and pending the delivery of the complete MoM and closing out the order”
V2 machining has not yet commenced because the production manager, Lewis- has not closed out the MoM yet. Very sorry for the delays but it doesn’t benefit anyone to overload with the preparations of...
Wednesday update: Feb 29th. (Per Lewis)

“A few Eagle eyed folks mentioned the MoM are shiny this time - that is how they come from factory, but the signature finish has always been brushed. Each MoM is hand finished to perfection - these are the best quality MoM to date for certain, but we...
Mom Hilts by TXQ have been received by Lewis in the UK.
Per his update on the ‘Veracity Labs’ Facebook page:
“
Now this is an exciting Thin Neck Thursday!
Chinese New Year is over, so that means the MoM have arrived!
The next step is quality control and hand finishing, as we have always...
Quick point: as a rule of TheRPF guidelines project run discussion does need to occur in the project run board which is why I pointed you there. (I am at least bound by that)
I don’t see website emails- that is Lewis\Harry’s job so I’ll see if I can find out some info.
PM coming… I’m sorry for...
Hi guys: we were waiting on helper boards V3. TXQ was having issues with the files there for some reason… having opted to use another vendor for helper boards the actual hilts are now (by confirmation from TXQ THIS morning) *actually* being shipped to Lewis.
I realize in my post above Jan 17-...
TXQ is finishing out the MoM- however won’t deliver until the helper boards can be finished and included (after chasing down issues there) (edit to clarify* the issues are chased down and the boards were re-ordered prior to Chinese new year, but they are on hold due to said new year closures)...
LOM- he’s still around; I believe he just took a hiatus from the boards with life being quite busy… many of his long standing research projects were essentially ‘solved’ so I think that’s part of why we haven’t seen him around much. LOM we miss you buddy come back soon :)
