Thread: First hand forged razor

Hello all! New member here. I would humbly like to post my latest blade, and first razor. I would love to hear your thoughts and critiques! I plan on learning all I can,and putting that knowledge towards making a beautiful tool to pass down to my son.

This is my first razor, hand forged from a section of 5/16 leaf spring I found while hiking.

Blade length is 3 inches, and it is 6.5 inches overall. The grind is 3/4 in wide, ground on a 6in contact wheel at 40 grit and hand sanded from there. The spine is 9/32s while the blade is at .001 currently



Unfortunately I do not have any good scale material or stones, so until then she will sit here and mock me

thank you you for looking!
