    Default Impractical but fun 10/8 hollow

    A big beast of a razor at 10/8 about as impractical as they come. It's made from o1 and has brass inlays down the tang and extensive file work. I built as a practice piece, for practicing hollow grinding and detail work. What I did learn is you are pushing your luck having a shoulderless blade so big😕. On the bright side it did shave well today (I have big hands)

    I think it very practical. You can use it to shave, chop vegetables, or cut wood for winter!

    Congratulations, on the BIG shaver.
    May your lather be moist and slick, the sweep of your razor sure, and your edge always keen!

    Wow, that's impressive - what a beast!

    Think I'd need to wield that with both hands!

    Looking at the spine, it makes me think of a small bicycle tire.
