Thread: My next custom build

Thanks guy's,

yes the brass back is to give it the correct honing angle, the steel I used for this one was 4mm thick (I ordered the wrong thickness but waste not want not) and after grinding and polishing was closer to 3.5mm think. I fixed up this Greaves brass frameback last year and the blade thickness at the point it met the brass back was close to 3mm so mine is pretty close, but if it makes you feel better you can call it a faux frameback, you can call it Mary if you want it doesn't matter to me it's gone now so on to the next one...
