Spanish Point 8/8 in Horn
I just finished making this razor this morning. It measures 8/8 and the blade was ground from 1/4" O-1 stock. The wedge is Purple Heart and I pinned the razor blade and wedge with brass and stainless steel washers. Any comments are welcome.

Not a whole lot better than taking some O1 and turning it into something sharp, huh? Great looking razor! I love the horn!
A knifemaker wants to know: what grit is it at in this picture, how did you heat treat it, and where do you get that sweet horn?

Thanks PapaTony. I agree, about taking raw materials and transforming them. So the horn came from EBay seller mygann. I heat treated with my torch to non-magnetic with oil quench and tempered at 400 degrees F.
