Nicely done!

I assume this one did not involve any Bondo?

What would make you think that?

For those wondering what Utopian is talking about, I demonstrated a technique that I use for my rough, pre heat treat grinding here; http://straightrazorpalace.com/get-t...as-meet-3.html I no longer use the small grinder shown, but have adapted the 'plastic fantastic' system for use with my new 2x72 grinder. This is what my pre heat treat profile looked like for this razor.

So you ARE still using it with the new grinder? You must be using another interesting fence mounted on your grinder's worktable in order to take advantage of your plastic surface.

Thanks for showing that profile. You have me intrigued again!

It is looking like you have that thin grind dialed in. My nephew is starting to play NCAA ball in Denver, perhaps he needs a visit this winter.

Any time Shaun!

Nice and convenient form of a razor. What material on the handle?

Just my opinion...the razor as shown has all the right signals going for it! A very nice design and execution!

Very attractive razor. The top profile, sway back and tang, look much like a Wade & Butcher I have. Very nicely done!

Really nice creation. Thanks for the link back to the meet up as well. Intriguing looking guide system you created and wonderfully even results.
Looks like it was a GTG I should have bought airfare to attend.
Great work.
