Brunoblade in G10 and Rayskin

**Zephyr** · 02-28-2014, 09:37 PM

Got this one from our very own Bruno about two weeks ago, 8/8 spanish point with a long monkeytail.

The blade was heat treated and ground/sanded to 80 grit when i got it.

I hand sanded the spine and tang to 2K, the blade itself I just ran lightly on 320 and 400 greaseless as I wanted to keep the grind striations, finally polished trought the "normal" steps.

I desided to try something new by making rayskin inlay, tought it would be cool. Well, it was a lot more job, and waaay harder than expected, I spent about 8 hours on the scales alone...
I'm not 100% satisfied with the result, the skin was a bi*@ to cut to the right shape, and after gluing it in place it kinda shrunk a bit.

Scales in White G10, black wedge to go with the rayskin and brass pinning.

That looks absolutely awesome Zephyr,
I have a similar monkey tailed BrunoBlade comming but with some spine work also on it's way to me
can't wait looks like i will have to remove a scale shape from my short list now LOL
I too am really liking the light grind lines in the blade as I have a 1" W&B that still has them also.
job well done another Brunoblade success

Absolutely stunning work!
This is what I like: The end result is a beautiful custom built around my steel that looks way better than anything I could have made in a reasonable timeframe. This is a perfect example of 1+1=3

that is a beautiful looking razor, I think the scales turned out really nice, and done just in time for my birthday this week (wink wink)

Looks amazing. Nice job guys!

Looks very good. Maybe we should start a Bruno's Blade club to showcase how they turn out with different approaches by everyone who acquires one of his semi-finished forgings.

Just mentioned this to Bruno the other day about starting a thread like "Show us your Brunoblade" or a Brunoblade club as I believe there is quite a few of his blades out there & it would be great to see them all showcased.
Mine is in the mail as we speak so am keen to add to it when I have it done.
