If it shaves as good as it looks, you got a helluva razor.

I would be interested in how you drilled the pin hole. Thanks
Sweet! That thing is super Nice! You should be proud. :chapeau
Don't for get to put your monicker on it! THen it becomes a valuable legacy.. Right now it is just a pretty cool file razor.. Make it live on man!
Very well done-I would not change a thing. Feel free to send it to me for further evaluation.
Spectacular work Grant. The hamon does show up in the photos and looks great.
Excellent job......next challenge is to get production time down to 2 days.... ;)

It is always a pleasure to view your work Grant. You have produced a fine work of art. Love the slant/angles of the blade with the same in the scales. Did you anneal the file first? Or work it with the given hardness? The finish of the blade and scales flawless!! Well done

An old file given a whole new life,,,,truly a beautiful thing.
Thanks guys. Yep I annealed the steel before doing any work on it. The softened steel is much easier to work with, making drilling the pin hole a piece of cake.
After the shaping and most of the grinding, it gets re-hardened.
Cheers mate. That grinder attachment made life SO much easier on this one.
Thanks again.
