Thread: Suminagashi predator

The second razor I made from the suminagashi steel. This time I stuck with the predator design to see what I could do with the steel. I am happy with how it turned out. One thing with forging suminagashi is that it highlights your mistakes. I hot-cut the blank from the stock, and apparently I did that not hot enough so the metal foilded a bit. This is why one side of the blade, the core layer of white paper steel on the front side doesn't come out exactly as I planned.

Still, all in all I think it has a certain something. The kirinite on this one is called 'red devil'.
