Thread: I would love to have your thoughts/opinions...

Ok, so every once in a while, I try to make something completely different from my usual styles and lines in knife making. I tried that with a razor this past week. I make a lot of Japanese style higonokami knives. They have folded brass handles and are fun to make. I have included one in the photos to give you an idea of what they look like and to also show you how I put an antique finish on them. I plan to do the same with this razor. I ground it from ATS34 SS. I know that most of you have seen lots of straight razors and am curious what you think. Keep in mind it is not finished... only heat treated and tempered etc. It won't take much to finish it. I will antique the brass when it is put together.
