Thread: 8/8 pattern welded Predator

Scales are very eye-catching and would add some variety to most rotation lists. Orange certainly dictates contrast with the dark blade. Nice.

If that were my creation, I would make another one with a thicker spine to achieve a narrower bevel. Just saying. I do like it.

The bevel is so small you can hardly see it. The blank line was coated with nail polish during etching. This is standard practice. The reason is that the edge is so thin that the acid would otherwise eat through it in a jiffy.

EDIT: Just to make myself clear, this razor does of course have the correct thickness for its width

I stand corrected Bruno. It just does not appear to have a narrow enough bevel as I am looking at it in the photo. Perhaps if I had the razor actually in my grubby little hands, I would have a more accurate perspective on the bevel. I still like it.

Indeed.
I have a couple of customs where that element was left out during etching.
They look swell and all, but sadly they are useless for hair removal

For the record, no they were not made by Bruno.

Beautiful looking razor Bruno. I love the design and the look of it.
