7/8 Custom Fancy Bolsters Black Micarta

Good Evening,

It has been bone chilling cold these last few weeks, no better time to work on razors:) This one is the first that I have made with custom bolsters and the first finished in 2014. The blade is 7/8 scales are jet black micarta with a near flawless glassy polish.

Bolsters were cut and filed by hand from brass sheet stock. Turned out to be very time consuming, which I new it would be, lol. Blade is 1/4 hollow mirror like finish with a beveled spine. Top jimps with some etched stripes in the tang.

The presentation stand was made with food grade 1/2 plexiglass, corners beveled. I used a 5/16 brass rod threaded and tapped into the base. Then I fastened a 5/16 earth magnet on the top.

Thanks for looking and have a great week!

Best Regards Ken

Great looking razor! The finish on the whole thing is wonderful, and I really like the bottom bolster.

Holy cow...that is a beautiful blade....what type of blade is that? That's an all round stunning looking blade!!! Details???

Wow-That is one of the most beautiful works of art I have ever seen on this forum!

Very nice work! The base is a real nice touch!

I can't decide what I like best about it, the blade or the scales.

What's not to like and like a lot. Super job from the blade to the scales to the stand. Congrats.

Absolutely beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

That is gorgeous.

That is in the best tradition of great razors! Everything is working together whether closed or open, it is a gem. The balance at the pivot is great!
That, for the simple reason that it will be easy to handle while honing. I found heavy scales to be more work to hone well as the scales wanted to pull the heel into the hones and lift the toe. A lot of wapis are that way and a few customs also.

Again, let me say that you have raised the bar significantly, in my opinion!
