8/8 O1 in denim micarta scales

Thought I'd show this here.
This is the 4th razor I have made and definitely the most dimensionally correct yet.
Steel is O1 and grind is 1/4 hollow, scales are home made denim micarta, wedge is corian. The micro pins are just temporary.
Pretty pleased with bevel for first attempt using a belt grinder, had a lot of advice from Bob of OCD. Test shave off LV coticule edge was typically smooth in a skin kind way. My photography is not the best so may not be showing in the best light.
Feedback welcomed, thanks for looking.

That is one awesome razor! Great work!

You have a lot of love and time in this don't you ? It shows ! Nice razor for sure. Only thing I wonder about is how slippery it is when wet. Just wonderin'.

I quote the above

I am really enjoying the extra file work, nicely done.
A lot of detail without looking over done.
Look forward to seeing more from you Deckard :nj

Remarkable razor. Many hours spent with hand work can be seen. Even if it is slippery when wet, the good looks of this razor would offset any nicks that would be had!!!!!
Awesome job sir I admire your time, effort, and patience creating this razor!!

That's some serious sculpting! I hope for your sake that steel wasn't hardened before you shaped the blade. Was this all done on a belt grinder, including hollowing the blade? If it was I'm impressed, never would've thought of hollow-grinding like that.

Thats a mean looking shaver!! I'd definitely be proud to be able to say I made that! Great work!

looks terrible! better send it to me for proper disposal! absolutley beautifiul!

Wow, I struggled to stop looking. It's both beautiful and dangerous looking, very animalistic - for some reason reminds me of a dragon... Wonderful work!

Gentlemen,
Thank you all so much for your positive comments, it's very gratifying.
Suavio I like you comment and think I will call this one blue dragon. I have the utmost respect for guys who hollow grind razors, I don't mind telling you it made me sweat. It's very touchy skilful work, you can only know about that by doing it.
Alas this one is destined for a member when he is ready to take it of my hands. Each time I do one I learn a little more each time of some aspect or other. Feel free to pm me about anything to do with my hobby, I don't wish to violate any forum rules here.

Cheers

You have a talent... keep going...

Very nice work, the blades spine work looks really good, Enjoy!

Nicely done. Very original creation and the finish is great. I really like the tight weave on the scales.
