    Default Cocobolo pair

    I've just put the finishing touches on these two.They both have 7/8 blades with a 1/4 hollow grind. The scales are cocobolo with buffalo horn spacers and nickel pins.



    Thanks for looking and as always feel free to critique

    Hi Mike
    Really like the scales.

    Is it the camera or are the tangs longer than what one usually sees?

    Thanks guys.

    Yes Dave, they are a tad longer than the traditional pattern. Just trying to do things a little differently I guess

    I really like both points, and the elongated tangs...very nice! How long are the cutting edges?

    How's the balance with these beauties?

    Thanks again chaps. The sharp bit is 2.5" long. These big 1\4 hollow razors will always be blade heavy but I find the balance of this design very fine indeed, but then I have made quite a few of them now

    The longer tang helps stabilize things.

    I think you could tell these are yours Mike even without the makers mark. Simple and elegant as usual.

    Just the way a like a razor clean, simple, not encumbered by any gimmickry and very esthetically pleasing. Gorgeous razors.
