Ahh the straight razor did'nt come right off the bat exactly, I've been making knives for a short while now and have done a bushcraft knife, a skinner, two bowies one small one large and a slip joint folder.Then one night someone put a link on the forum to this site and that was it. The seed was planted:). It took about two weeks to finish the project I was on and then there was no stopping me. One six inch file, two hours grinding, about four hours polishing then a good couple of hours to sharpen, hone and strop (All by hand.) and there it was one straight edge razor. (Ishould mention at this stage both my fore arms and a potion of my stomach were completely bald:rofl2:.) The next night I dressed it in brass.It also took me atleast a week and half to get the nerve up to actually use it:D.
