Any grinding tips would be appreciated.

Joe

When I get edges to 10 thousandths I set a course bevel (not complete but enough to see what points I need to hit). I then try to take everything down ultimately to 1-2 thousandths at edge before honing.

I especially like that smiler; that characteristic notch at the front of the spine on some of your razors is really cool. Makes it look like a rhino

Absolutely loving these razors, from the damascus to the grind on that second kami, just beautiful!

Joe, do you make your own Damascus or do you buy billets? If you make your own, how did you achieve that pattern?

Those are very beautiful.....your very talented. How long does it take to make one of those razors? I am very new to the site and the art as well just started 2 weeks ago. The folding razor with the notch is very nice. I like the multi toning of the metal.

Just buy billets for now. I make my own san mai and that is about as far as I want to go by hand at the moment. When I get a press I will start making my own damascus.

Thanks - anywhere from 2-4 weeks depending on how much time I get in the shop on any given day/week.
