Thread: 2 more from the snail forge

Tis week I finished 2 interesting projects. The first is an Alien1, but with a smile. The blade is about 9/8 half hollow.The notches and jimps make it lock perfectly in my fingers. It's mirror finished, following some tips I got from Max which I wanted to try out. The scales are kirinite glow in the dark. This is awesome stuff. In low light conditions it glows yellow green, which is just perfect for an Alien. I made the notches on scales match those on the spine. The wedge is kirinite green MOP. I really wish I could make a picture of the glowing scales but I can't seem to take pictures in the dark.





The second blade is a fixed handle razor of which the spine / handle follow a sinewave-ish line that I thought felt natural. It is 8/8 and very curved, both in the handle and in the blade. It too is mirror finished. I added jimp patterns to break the monotony of the otherwise smooth handle. The stand is meranti.

I like them both. great design idea adding the jimps on the fixed blade to break up monotony.

Thats a beautiful razor bruno.

Seriously nice. I'm not big on the fixed handles, but the lines just grab my attention and won't let go. Superb.

Very nice Bruno
What's the western look like closed ?

Very nicely done. On the no folding razor. Have you devised something to protect the blade???

Bruno, the Alien is pretty neat but the fixed blade is beautiful. Your art continues to improve with each batch you put out. Well done

I have to be careful of what I say, or I'll end up with another, but the fixed blade is INCREDIBLE!! I have never seen one with such beautiful lines.

did you grill some chokes marerinated in basalmic and olive oil??

I love that fixed blade! Looks great!

Cheers,
