Second razor attempt..... The other half of the file!

[Manchestertattoo]

Well I have just finished making my second razor, out of the other half of the crucible Sheffield file. I have a new old belt sander that I used to hollow grind the blade. I don't know the precise grind but I would ball park it at a quarter hollow. I have tested it on my 1k and it took a bevel well and nice and even and the steel feels great. I had to re temper the blade as the steel was too brittle after the initial tempering. It's the same Sheffield theme, I thought I owed it the file and I love old Sheffield razors. I attempted jimps along the top half of the tang right to the tail end, I thought they looked a little different. It measures a hefty 10/8 and spine thickness is 1/4 inch. I thought it would end up a lot heavier than it did but the grinding made a bigger difference in weight than I thought it would. I scaled it in horn with a camel bone wedge and finished in stacked brass washers.(again!!) I thought it looked classic. Anyway, enough of me waffling, here's some pics....
