Wowwwww that looks amazing! I usually don't like those classic round reels but that's really classy.

Very classy.
Those knobs really set it off.

Gorgeous! Are those knobs bearing supported? I have a couple of the Morrum Forrells and one of them had a rosewood knob that binds up when it is really cold.

Very nice. I have 4 2500c's but my only 1500 has a tweaked frame so is waiting for Shimormura to come out with one of his custom frames. If Pure Fishing had an ounce of intelligence they'd make another re-addition of these, there are a lot of us who would pay stupid money for more of them.

When the 2500C came out it was a perfect fit for the new graphite rods. Let us see the 2500C when you finish. The 1500C is awesome, great work.

Yes they have two bearings in each knob. It's an Haneda Handle

I love seeing the classic abu's revived. So many memories fishing them for salmon steelhead in the northwest.
