    Default 15/16 Predator in Toxic Orange and Black kirinite

    I made another Predator razor in O2. The scales are in Orange and Black Toxic Kirinite. I like these predator razors. They are fun to make, and there is something primal about them. This design is definitely a keeper. And of course, it shaves well

    I like it, looks like it would shave and handle well...they key to a "keeper" razor. Looks very uniform on the grind and your attention to detail is awesome. The thumb hold marks are so even it's like you did it with a tool.

    Question: your mark, is it kanji? If so, what does it mean/say? If it's your mark, what's it signify?

    I really like this one. Someone is going to be very happy when they get that package and
    hold the Predator in their hands the first time. : )

    Thanks.
    I am finally getting to a point where I think I understand how to make a razor, though there are still many areas in which I need to improve. My hollow grinding is becoming passable. The filing is all done by hand and eyeball, and a single triangular file usually.

    My mark consists of both front and back side symbols. On a knife they are together. On a razor I place them on exact opposite sides. The front side symbol is a combination rune, consisting of 2 rune signs joined together. The back side symbol is the Lorraine cross. Both together are my mark. You can see them properly on my facebook page.

    Nice work. Your grinding has improved greatly in the couple of years I've been watching your work.

    What size wheel are you running on your grinder?

    Notches etc excepted, I do practically everything with my 4" wheel. I very rarely use my 8" wheel and I haven't used my 12" wheel in more than half a year.
