    Default 7/8 French point WIP

    Here are some pics of a razor I'm working on.

    Profiled and grind lines marked



    Nearly there



    Here it is rough ground ready for heat treatment. I've put some plastic scales on just to check the shape feels good in hand



    Post HT grinding done and ready for some scales



    Please feel free to comment

    I really like the modern look to the razor. What are your plans for the scales?

    Very nice, that looks great! What are the dimensions? Cutting edge length?

    Thanks. Not sure about scales yet but I'm leaning towards some nice ebony I've got.

    Thanks. The blade is 2.5" long and 7/8ths wide. The overall length is 7"

    looks great Mike,
    personally I would thin the tail out a bit more vertically but that is only my thoughts
    it does look very good as I can't wait to see it fully scaled & complete
    I know I would be very proad of it

    Looks great so far. I like the lines of it. Interested to see it in some scales.
