    Default File Razor IV the Final Chapter

    Its been 6 months but I finally got this one finished up.
    After learning a lot from my previous two file razors, I'm really happy with how this turned out.
    It has been made specifically to my personal taste. It's all the things I like in a razor, big (around 8/8), wedgey grind, and mean lookin'.
    During the final hand sanding process I realized that a Hamon/temper line had unexpectedly occurred and etched the blade with vinegar and lemon juice to bring it out. It may not be too visible in the photos but it looks pretty cool when you have it in hand.
    The scales are a dark tint acrylic, with a Corian wedge, s/steel washers on Nickle Silver pins.
    I haven't taken it to the hones yet but I'm looking forward to shaving with it.

    As always, thank you to the guys over in The Forge forum for all the help with this project
