nice job, the grinding looks very clean
what is the materials & process you used?
I like the raspy looking tang

Nice look you have going.

01 tool steel. Tale was a separate piece welded on then tapered. Rough and finish grinding mostly on a harbor freight belt grinder sander. Mark center line before grinding g. Lots of patience

Yes that's a really nice razor. Bet it'll shave nice too huh?

**drmccubx** · 02-17-2015, 01:51 AM

Yup. Did my neck with it tonight. Smooth. No pressure needed just the weight of the razor

Is the tang 0-1 also. I'm assuming you TIG welded it. What did you use for filler? I have an 0-1 blade forging that I broke the tang on.

Yes. 01.tig welded by my nephew

**drmccubx** · 02-23-2015, 06:07 PM

I think the heat was hot enough to bond the 2 pieces

Looks good. I like it. Looks like people with big fingers would need something a little larger to hold on to though?
