    Default Etched O1 and carbon fiber

    Finally got this one done after what seemed to be a long time away from the shop due to work.

    6/8 etched O1 blade 3/4 hollow

    The dark lords got a new str8 LOL
    Very nice did you make the blade from scratch?
    What did you use to etch the blade full black, a gun blue or something different
    Saved,
    to shave another day.

    Yes, I did. The entire thing is from scratch. I etched the blade with ferric chloride.

    Vader called, he said he wants his razor back. Force shaves are just taking too long and there is a death star to be built !

    Unusual look and if you want my completely honest opinion, at first I didn't really like it. However I've not seen anything like it and without realising I have found myself glued to the pictures. There are some really nice touches and fantastically well done. In particular the rounding of edges is so subtle but effective.

    If I was to ever lust after a razor, this would be it......I love it !!!

    Did you make the carbon fibre or buy it as a slab ? On the blade side of things what hardness did you temper the O1 to?

    Thanks Mike! I always appreciate an honest opinion, especially when they turn out to be good ones

    I just bought the carbon fiber, unless I'm doing some sort of specialized resin type material, I just buy it. More time effective. It ended up around 57-60 HRC

    Nice. It is dark but the first thing I thought was "Bad Transformer". There were bad guys in transformers right ? :<0)

    Seriously, I just can't get enough of this thing. If you ever decide to sell it, I call dibs on first in line to buy. I will start saving my pennies now.

    I love the blade on that. The shape and color go great together.
