    I have never seen an off center grind on a razor! Also, the warthog scales are awesome

    Thanks! Most kamisori's are asymmetrically ground. The warthog material was something new I hadn't worked with in the past and was pretty happy with the result.

    Love, love, love it.
    That tiny bevel is sublime. I like small bevel and can grind them pretty good, but not as thin as this.
    Any grinding tips would be appreciated.

    Beautiful razors Joe. That is all I can think to say as I am pretty much left speechless at your skill.

    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?
