You're coming along nicely. Looks nicely ground. Are you going to put a makers mark on it (etching or such)?
The one think I personally don't like are the hex bolts. I used them for a short while, but found the sharp corners to be annoying.
Are they G10 scales or something else?Til shade is gone, til water is gone, Into the shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath.

I haven't really come up with a makers mark that I like yet. I started looking in to etching. The scales are paper/epoxy micarta that I made. The asymmetry of the spine in the grind photo does not exist in real life, I think its an artifact of the reflection. I'm not a very good photographer.

I use my 4" wheel for practically everything. I use the 8" very rarely, when I need to grind a wedge. I use the 12" wheel never.
2" for hollow ground and 1" for notches.Substance likes this.Til shade is gone, til water is gone, Into the shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath.

Nice. Much improved!
Could you make a picture that shows the razor head on, so that I'm looking at the point from the front?Til shade is gone, til water is gone, Into the shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath.

This is the closest. The razor is no longer in my possession. Originally Posted by Bruno

No problem. It shows what I wanted to see. Is it correct that the side of the spine is vertical, if you know what I mean?
In other words, are the left and right 'side' of the spine parallel?Til shade is gone, til water is gone, Into the shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath.
